That list looks right to me, except that you were going to see whether you had a CP/M 86 boot disk, which would be welcome. My cheque went in the mail yesterday, and a copy of the Interfacer 4 manual today - in the event I don't seem to have any others. I have a fair collection of S-100 boards but am interested where possible into putting them together into useful or at least complete machines. As I mentioned in my note with the cheque, I have a nice IMSAI 8080 which I intend to hold onto, although only a limited number of original IMSAI boards. I also have an IMSAI VDP80, which occasionally consents to boot, a lot of MITS documentation and a few boards including 8800 and 8800B CPUs but no mainframe, and a very complete Polymorphic 8813 system with its interesting operating system. I am interested in trading cards to make more sense of what I have. I also have a fair amount of CP/M software to which the same applies. Richard P.S. The firm name is slightly wrong but we've had a lot odder variants than that!

Our library and stuff-collection is about to shove us out of our house (thousands of yards of fabric, thousands of books, dozens of boatanchor radios...)
