I've got an IMSAI VDP-80 with the Persci 8" drives and a few boot disks and software for it. Cosmetically it's got some scratches and small chips in the case. Judging from the thickness of the dust on it, its probably been sitting at least 20 years.
I'm wondering if this machine is anything special. Should I leave it un-disturbed in it's original condition or should I fiddle with it? The case design is cool looking, maybe it would be interesting to put different guts in it. From what I understand they were horrible machines when new, are they interesting to collectors or are they like the Yugo of vintage computers?
