The #IMSAI 8080 Replica kit I've been working on for some time now will start to ship this month! I recently assembled the first production kit, pictured here. If it interests you, head over to https://t.co/CqB1AtNh3Y for more details and how to order.

@Oscar_CEDS Caution! Objects in the retro-mirror may be closer than they appear.

So now there are three PiDP replicas, each to tell its own story of computer history - or the DEC part of it.

The 10, though, has been a long time project - since 2018. But the injection molded case is in production, so it won't be long now.

If you haven't seen it yet: a great #recap (see what I did there!) of @VCFe_CH Zürich by @PhintageCollect. He always makes excellent videos, you should check out his channel if you don't already know him.

@jcrowly @gedgehead That's a wrap on @VCFe_CH Zürich. And that's a wrap on the grand European tour for @TheHighNibble. Thanks and so long to everyone I met along the way. It's time to head home to Oz.

Today I am in...

[TheHighNibble @TheHighNibble]

I’ve had a nibble on my YouTube channel after all this time :-)

[TheHighNibble @TheHighNibble]

@HereBeDragons3 @computermuseum @TheHighNibble will be there. All the way from Sydney, Australia so no more complaints about the 3 hour drive across the UK 😀 I’ll have blinken lights on.

After much editing (I may have filmed a little too much footage), my IMSAI 8080 kit from @TheHighNibble is built. Which has given me a good excuse to talk about the history of IMSAI. https://t.co/tv7p95wTbk

@crtdude @Devilish_Design @linuxopsys Old school terminal: no mouse.

@TheHighNibble will be there as an exhibitor. Can’t wait.

If you own an #IMSAI 8080esp from @TheHighNibble then you might like the #S132 add-on that will release in early 2023. It has VGA output with USB or PS/2 keyboard support and provides a VT100/VIO/Dazzler & #Cromemco D+7A I/O - 2 Analog joysticks &/or Parallel printer interface

[TheHighNibble @TheHighNibble]

And the next video showing the #Cromemco D+7A Input/Output with two JS-1 analog joysticks + audio

@Nbreeden2 @PCBWayOfficial @JLCPCB All my PCBs come from @JLCPCB, I've not used anyone else and have no reason to change.

A new video https://t.co/J1UJCPZCvp showing new features of the Desktop UI for #IMSAI 8080esp and #Cromemco Z-1 replicas from @TheHighNibble
Available now in BETA from the IMSAI8080esp forum https://t.co/PF6t9gcyTQ. Will be the production release sometime in March 2023

[TheHighNibble @TheHighNibble]

@dJOS_500 PS/2 keyboard is already an option. But for video output it's strictly VGA. Resolutions up to 1024x768 are used so anything less than VGA doesn't make sense.

@TheHighNibble
Hey cool! It arrived!
This kit is way better laid out then the Heathkits I use to build. ( Note: Heathkit made excellent kits) Can' t wait to build this!
