Imsai 8080 S-100 computer. The original on top, and retrofitted with a hexadecimal front panel from Wameco on the bottom
Dad's Imsai
This was my dad's computer. I recently rebuilt the power supply of dads original, I bought another Imsai computer off ebay to house the Wameco hexadecimal display front panel. I sent both of these front panels out to System Glitch for repair. I did the mechanical reinforcement of the switches on the Wameco FP1.

FIF / VIO evaluation / restoration
I paid entirely to much on ePay for an Imsai 8080 but included FIF FDC board set with both the IFM and FIB boards as well as the interconnect ribbon cable and the ribbon cable to the drive enclosure. It came with an Imsai eight inch FDD cabinet with identical drives to the set I already have Imsai Floppy Disk
