Hello all,
I got my first PC out of storage over the holidays. It is an IMSAI
PCS-80/30 that I bought in late 1977. Fired it up and everything works!
Trying to figure out what to do with it. I'm, well lets just say 70
something, and neither of my kids will ever want it. There is a computer
museum here in Colorado, but from what I can determine it is not set up to
display computer systems as yet. Don't really want to sell it on eBay.
Here are some photos -- please ignore the temporary computer desk -- a piece
of plywood resting on some chairs in my basement.

It will boot and run Northstar Dos, CP/M, and the UCSD Pascal p-code system.
For those who might be interested, here are the details.
