IMSAI 8080 THE PROFESSIONAL, AFFORDABLE COMPUTER SYSTEM

Here’s a high-quality microprocessor-based system that gives you the performance and flexibility you demand at a price you can afford. Whether you’re a cost/performance-conscious OEM, or an uncompromising experimenter, IMSAI 8080 should be your affordable choice.

The computer, using Intel’s 8080A chip, makes up to 64K words (bytes) of memory directly accessible. With a basic machine cycle of 0.5 microsecond, and with as many as 256 I/O ports directly accessible, this is definitely a highcapability machine.

The computer is backed by a family of options and peripheral devices and interfaces to do just about any job... serial and line printers, a video terminal, tape cassette, disk or teletypewriter.

It’s modular, so you can easily add to your IMSAI 8080 system.

Basic software furnished includes a resident monitor, assembler, text editor, loader and debugger. There’s a wide range of high-level system software available to registered IMSAI 8080 owners at very low cost.

While the computer is designed as a high-quality commercial computer, there’s no compromise in quality or value if you purchase it as a kit. You can get it together and bring it up in 10 to 20 hours, depending on your experience. Plug-in modularity minimizes solder connections to speed assembly and enhance reliability.

Whether your IMSAI 8080 computer is to be used up-front, or hidden in your dedicated application, you’ll find it the right system to start with, and the best to grow with.
