Then how come everything he had was IMSAI brand name (CPU, modem, disk
drives, keyboard)? If they wanted it to seem like he cobbled it together
they should have had him with an IMSAI CPU, a CompuPro dual 8" disk drive
unit, a VT-100 terminal, some funky Racal-Vadic modem, etc.

BTW, if you look closely you'll see that the top is off of the IMSAI and
it has ribbon cables coming out of it. Not very apparent though.
