Greetings Folks:
I have just joined this forum.
I would like to find out the approximate value of my IMSAI 8080 which I bought in the late 70's. It is still working and boots up CP/M version 2.2 from one of the dual 8" floppy drives. I never did get around to putting the drives into a case. It has a dual floppy controller and a pair of Memorex drives plus another couple of spare drives. There is a mixture of S100 cards including an extender board and EPROM programmer. The chassis, case and front panel is pretty much mint. l have a couple of file boxes of manuals and documentation for it plus a few dozen diskettes of software.
I wonder what the approximate collectors value might be? I could not find any history on eBay. I am wondering if there is somewhere on the net where I could look to determine its value? Are there any special auction sites for vintage computers? If it does not have much value I will probably just hang on to it for nostalgia. I like to boot it up once and a while just to see all those LEDs light up on the front panel, hear the floppy drive A clunk/clunk and to remember the early days of entering the paper tape BootLoader from those front panel keys, /)).
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Tom
