Planning to get one of these : IMSAI Desktop[^] The price is steep but it does include a printer. Just a little concerned about the RAM though - don't want to spend that much money and still need to buy RAM. Anyone here bought one of these recently? If so, opinions please.

I actually ended up with one of these from an estate sale four or five years ago. Still works, MDM drives so it will be hard to upgrade. Mine has a 1200 baud modem too. GW BASIC, OK if you like line numbers. CP/M op sys. Works good as a night light. Taken it to some ham radio shows as a curiosity... everybody wants to look at it... no one has offered to buy it. No printer, though. I guess that wrecks any real chance of selling it.

"28-Amp Power Supply" scribble.. 28A x 120V = 3360 W ... ECO class A+ !
I would think it is output amperage (thus mainly at 12V)...

Yeah, that probably makes more sense. I just found the other interpretation more entertaining :laugh:

I think that 28 amps is the 5 volt supply. Maybe the total including the 12v rails as well. But point taken, those 1K x 1 chips drew a lot of power. If it had existed, 4 gig of RAM would have drawn enough to power a small city. 3.3 KW should be enough to weld heavy plate.
