Holy Crap! IMSAI's weren't this expensive when new!

Well, hopefully he recognizes what a DOG this system is, with its NorthStar
controller. It will never have a decent-sized TPA thanks to the
memory-mapped controller, and it will never read soft sectored diskettes
either. Fortunately, he can probably afford to put up with the associated
problems.

I advised Tom Bassi to dump the NorthStar stuff any way he could, and, since
he had several IMSAI's at the time, this was how he chose to do it. I'm
really glad he did so well. You can see from the pictures that he does
clean work and keeps things looking good.
