I first saw you two today from Veronica's channel. Good job building the High Nibble's IMSAI. You kids rock! LOL If it helps, and you make me feel old, I read that Popular Electronics (Pop-E to us) when it CAME OUT. Built a MITS Altair 8800 for a friend to use in his business. Not long after helped solder together 12 IMSAI 8080s in our college "micro lab." We networked them with 9600b serial ports. Then spent a weekend with two other guys soldering together a disk controller for the IMSAI master or main node so it could boot from floppies and load each other node, vs. cassette tape. Those were the days. Each kid in the lab had their own IMSAI 8080 to use for assembly programming class. It was wicked cool for the early 80's.

Popular Electronics (later Computers & Electronics)...holy cow, that brings back some old bits of memory.

Fascinating kit — can’t wait to see it in action… those switches look the bees-knees.

Hope the laryngitis clears up quickly.

Saw your VCF West 2023 panel discussion. You two have the best sense of humor. Sly, dry, and cerebral. Subscribed.

It was great to see you two at VCF Southwest. I now know I should be watching the earliest of videos for the full experience!

Have FUN I did. Mine was an Altair 8800 a few hand wired boards to make use of 33 ASR and it paper tape. Also our very big 5MB SCSI hard drive and two 8" floppies :)

Even a replica IMSAI 8080 makes me happy.

Great video, as usual (just catching up on stuff, so I am a bit behind). The kit computers from the mid-1970's is something I saw a fair bit of with slightly older friends, but I never owned (or even programmed) one, so living the mid-1970's dream vicariously through you two is a real treat!

Awesome! I just got an IMSAI S-100 computer from my friends dad. He used the computer when he was a PhD student in the 70s. Been doing a lot of research on it. So fun to tinker with. Then I see a vid of y'all with this IMSAI 8080 kit! I hope y'all do a series on this computer!

Matthew Broderick in War Games was a formative experience for me as well but nothing related to computers...

Very nice build!
