Pacific Northwest 1982-1983 Intel iPDS computer, seems to work has a chip copier and another box that plugs into it. I have 2 binders of directions and pocket guides.

This computer was given to my dad years ago. I am not sure what it is worth but am interested in selling it

That looks like an intel 8048 development system.

An MCS-48 development/debugging system is exactly what I've been hunting for, actually! o:
It's not really a computer on its own but it's used to emulate or sit in between an actual Intel 8048 or 8049 (MCS-48 series) microcontroller for writing software and debugging the hardware while operating the device. They aren't unheard of but I've only seen two in person since one was for sale at VCF: Pacific Northwest in 2019.

Well, technically the Kaypro-adjacent portable computer portion of this setup is called an "iPDS-100" and can run CP/M, ISIS, and a few other operating systems, so if you really wanted to use it to run WordStar you'd have that option. But yeah, the real reason it exists is to host a whole family of ICE modules and other development tools. (They had modules for the 8080/85 and 8088/86 family in addition to Intel's MCUs.) If you really want to do some oldskool 8048/51 development this thing could certainly be the ticket.
