RARE Imsai 8080 Computer + Rare Cards *EARLIEST MICROCOMPUTER* - Computer

For Sale is a very rare Imsai 8080 Computer. I didnt test all the cards, but I did turn on the Computer and the Switches are working. No further testing. It is full of rare Cards, almost every slot has a vintage Card inside. Very valuable. Each Card is worth $300 alone. Up for sale is a classic IMSAI 8080, one of the very first personal microcomputers from the 1970s. Originally released in 1975, the IMSAI 8080 quickly became more popular than the Altair 8800 thanks to its sturdier design and reliability. This system is built around the Intel 8080 processor and uses the famous S-100 bus, which allowed for expansion with memory and peripheral cards. The front panel, with its iconic switches and status LEDs, lets you interact directly with the machine at the hardware level—true vintage computing at its best. The IMSAI 8080 could run early software such as CP/M, making it one of the first practical business and hobbyist computers. It’s also a piece of pop culture history, famously featured in the movie WarGames (1983). This is more than just a computer—it’s a milestone in the history of personal computing and a collector’s dream.
