The #IMSAI 8080 Replica kit I've been working on for some time now will start to ship this month! I recently assembled the first production kit, pictured here. If it interests you, head over to thehighnibble.com for more details and how to order.

@Oscar_CEDS Caution! Objects in the retro-mirror may be closer than they appear.

So now there are three PiDP replicas, each to tell its own story of computer history - or the DEC part of it. The 10, though, has been a long time project - since 2018. But the injection molded case is in production, so it won't be long now. #PDP11 #PDP8 #PDP10

If you haven't seen it yet: a great #recap (see what I did there!) of @VCFe_CH Zürich by @PhintageCollect. He always makes excellent videos, you should check out his channel if you don't already know him.

@jcrowly @gedgehead That's a wrap on @VCFe_CH Zürich. And that's a wrap on the grand European tour for @TheHighNibble. Thanks and so long to everyone I met along the way. It's time to head home to Oz.

@gedgehead @TheHighNibble I must admit I quiet fancy doing the global tour of events he is doing, no doubt trying the warm beer of many a country.

Can you spot @TheHighNibble ?

Today I am in...

I’ve had a nibble on my YouTube channel after all this time :-)

@HereBeDragons3 @computermuseum @TheHighNibble will be there. All the way from Sydney, Australia so no more complaints about the 3 hour drive across the UK 😀 I’ll have blinken lights on.

Clear the diaries! Cancel all your plans for the weekend of the 4th/5th November! Why? Because you're coming to RETROFEST 2023! I'll announce it officially via @computermuseum very soon, but you heard it here first 😄

After much editing (I may have filmed a little too much footage), my IMSAI 8080 kit from @TheHighNibble is built. Which has given me a good excuse to talk about the history of IMSAI. youtu.be/fmnX0bJjVew

@crtdude @Devilish_Design @linuxopsys Old school terminal: no mouse.

@linuxopsys You mean I've been doing it wrong? This isn't how you use cat in the terminal?

99% of Linux users use the cat command every day. Despite this, most people do not take advantage of its full potential. In this thread, I'll explain what the cat command is and show you some options you probably didn't know about (but you should):

@TheHighNibble will be there as an exhibitor. Can’t wait.

New firmware release available now for the #IMSAI8080 and #Cromemco Z-1 replicas. On GitHub github.com/thehighnibble/… Focuses on stability and performance improvements along with some bug fixes. Read the release notes for details. Have fun!

Want a #Tektroix 4014 vector display for your #IMSAI 8080esp - check. 132 Column mode for the TTY: - got you covered. S-132 add-on support - that too. New firmware release available now on GitHub github.com/thehighnibble/… Read the release notes for details. Have fun!

The S-132 add-on for the #IMSAI8080 and #Cromemco Z-1 replica kits is now available to order. Pricing is published on the website at #availability" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thehighnibble.com/s132/#availabi… so I won't repeat it here. Kits will start shipping this month.

And the next video showing the #Cromemco D+7A Input/Output with two JS-1 analog joysticks + audio youtu.be/y28_PbFyGsU

If you own an #IMSAI 8080esp from @TheHighNibble then you might like the #S132 add-on that will release in early 2023. It has VGA output with USB or PS/2 keyboard support and provides a VT100/VIO/Dazzler & #Cromemco D+7A I/O - 2 Analog joysticks &/or Parallel printer interface

If you follow @TheHighNibble or more importantly if you are a forum member for the #IMSAI8080esp please know that the forum has moved to its new home at github.com/orgs/thehighni… The forum is public and readable by anyone. If you wish to post you need to become a member (again).

@Nbreeden2 @PCBWayOfficial @JLCPCB All my PCBs come from @JLCPCB, I've not used anyone else and have no reason to change.

A new video youtu.be/1Dc5Y3WIC_8 showing new features of the Desktop UI for #IMSAI 8080esp and #Cromemco Z-1 replicas from @TheHighNibble Available now in BETA from the IMSAI8080esp forum groups.google.com/g/imsai8080esp…. Will be the production release sometime in March 2023

@dJOS_500 PS/2 keyboard is already an option. But for video output it's strictly VGA. Resolutions up to 1024x768 are used so anything less than VGA doesn't make sense.

Web UI and firmware updated to the latest stable release. Looks amazing! @TheHighNibble I saw you have a VGA + USB expansion. Any chance of a composite / S-video + PS2 for that extra authenticity?

Todays build project was a great success! Now I just need to learn how to use it! #WarGames @TheHighNibble

@TheHighNibble Hey cool! It arrived! This kit is way better laid out then the Heathkits I use to build. ( Note: Heathkit made excellent kits) Can' t wait to build this!
