TYPICAL SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

While the IMSAI 8080 will handle tough industrial and commercial assignments in sophisticated multiprocessor environ­ments, it's also an ideal low-cost machine for learning computer technology and programming. But in any application you'll have freedom and flexibility with IMSAI 8080.

Elementary System

The IMSAI I-8080-1K is a valuable in­structional tool for learning computer concepts and machine-language programming. You need only:

Computer

bulletI-8080-1K computer
bulletEXPM edge connector

Memory

bulletRAM 4A-1 1K memory

You write small yet powerful programs which are entered using front panel switches. Communication between machine and yourself is through the front panel switches and LED's.

BASIC Language System

This system lets you program the computer in the BASIC language which is widely used in educational and commer­cial applications. A wide range of inter­esting games may be played and useful problems solved in BASIC.

In this system the machine and you communicate using a Video Display! Keyboard Terminal or optional tele­typewriter. Order the following:

Computer

bulletI-8080 computer
bulletEXPM edge connector (3)

Memory

bulletRAM 4A-4 4K memory
bulletPROM 4-4 memory for 4K-byte BASIC

Software

bulletBASIC 4A PROM-programmed 4K BASIC
bulletDOC-6 BASIC User's Manual

I/O

bulletCRT-1280A or CRT-2480A Video Display/Keyboard Terminal
bulletSlO 2-1 Serial I/O Interface board
bulletCABLE A cable for interface board

Assembly Language System with Punched Paper Tape

This system lets you program the com­puter in assembly language from punched paper tape, providing freedom and economy in developing programs. Machine/operator communications are through a teletypewriter equipped with a paper tape reader.

You can also use this configuration for programming when the BASIC lan­guage is on paper tape. Order the following:

Computer

bulletI-8080 computer
bulletEXPM edge connector (3)

Memory

bulletRAM 4A-4 4K memory (2)

I/O

bulletSlO 2-1 Serial I/0 Interface board
bulletCABLE A cable for interface board

Assembly Language System with Tape Cassette Data Storage

This configuration has all assembly language programs in PROM memory and uses an audio cassette tape recorder to store data. Order:

Computer

bulletI-8080 computer
bulletEXPM edge connector (4)

Memory

bulletRAM 4A-4 4K memory
bulletPROM 4-4 read only memory for programs

Software

bulletPGM-2A Tape Cassette Operating System on PROM

I/O

bulletCRT-1280A or CRT-2480A Video Display/Keyboard Terminal
bulletAudio Tape Cassette Recorder
bulletUCRI-1 Tape Cassette lnterface Board
bulletSIO 2-1 Serial I/O Interface board
bulletCABLE A cable for interface board
