How do you rate an upgrade?

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.

A friend of mine used to have one of these, so here goes:
1. The advertisment displays a printer, but it's not listed in the specification.
2. The HDD is a little skimpy by today's standards.
3. Ditto for the memory.
4. Lastly, I recommend buying 4 of these, and running them in parallel so as to get true 32-bit processing.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Excellent advice as always!

Not sure what spec you're referring to, but there is a 132-column dot-matrix printer in the specs listed in that advertisement.

You're right; I missed it.

Don't get robbed dude! Go with this[^] baby... I hear good things about the guys writing their BASIC system. They'll probably be millionaires some day.

I say go for it: at 6K, you can't get a better deal these days.

"28-Amp Power Supply"
scribble.. 28A x 120V = 3360 W ... ECO class A+ !
|

IMSAIs really were "big iron". Half the chassis was the power supply, a giant transformer and caps the size of beer cans. The transformer, all iron, had to weigh 20 lbs. or more.
But they were reliable. I still have two of them. I used one for embedded development for over 15 years.

That was a bit before my time but being a "hobby electronics engineer" I can imagine - you probably didn't need to turn on the radiator in that room

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
|
|
|
|

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.

I don't know about that - the Lisa[^] looks awesome! It's going to revolutionize the industry!
