Feb 8, 2015 · The IMSAI MPU-A 8080 CPU card was what the original Altair equivalent card should have been. It was made on a better quality board with proper gold plated edge connectors and a cleaner well spaced trace pattern.

The MPU-A board is the processor board for the IMSAI 8080 Microcomputer System. It is designed using the 8080 micro processor chip. The bus arrangement and board connector has been chosen to be 100% compatible with the MITS Altair M8800 .

May 15, 2024 · Here's the FIRST "clone" computer: the IMSAI 8080, offered by IMS Associates Inc. late in 1975 after the introduction of the MITS Altair 8800. While not a copy of the Altair, it was designed and sold to be card and bus-compatible with the Altair 8800.

The basic IMSAI 8080 system comes with an MPU board (MPU-A), fro nt panel control board (CP-A), a power supply (PS-20), expander board (EXP-6), with space for 6 card slots, tw o 100 pin edge connectors and 4 card edge guides (2 EXPM-1),and a

Aug 9, 2019 · Finally we solved our problem and the display driver works. The right configuration was the last, with 18 bpp and 16 bit bus width, but to apply the patch correctly we had to download the L3.14.52_1.1.0_GA NXP Kernel.

The IMSAI 8080 - Arguably the first personal computer "clone", this machine combines function and form in what may be the most attractive microcomputer ever. The IMSAI gained widespread recognition when it was featured in the 1984 movie Wargames.

The IMSAI 8080 is a powerful system using current semiconductor technology, modularly expandable up to 64K bytes of memory with the versatility of supporting a wide range of peripherals.

Nov 8, 2024 · I began working on building an IMSAI 8080 CP-A Front Panel replica in May 2017. I first ported Udo Munk's z80pack V1.36-dev, specifically the imsaisim machine, to the ESP32 micro-controller targeting the ESP32-PICO-KIT.

There are two types of MPU interfaces – Motorola 6800 and Intel 8080. 8080 is a more popular interface than 6800. This interface consists 4/8/9/16 bits data, Chip-Select (CS) , Data/ Instruction Select (RS), Read-Write (RD) and Write-Enable (WR). Figure 2-3 shows the signal mapping on TM4C129 MCU. Figure 1-4. MPU Interface to the Display Module

Aug 1, 2014 · We’re using the ELCDIF MPU8080 interface on the i.MX6SL to drive a MIPI bridge chip (SSD2805C) for a MIPI LCD. Since an existing asynchronous MCU8080 interface does not appear to have been implemented for this platform, we …
