48 years ago on December 16, 1975, IMS Associates began shipping its IMSAI 8080 computer kits.
Originally shipped as kits for assembly by the user, the IMSAI 8080 gained popularity, and eventually, the company shifted to producing fully assembled units.
In total, between 17,000 and 20,000 units of the IMSAI 8080 were manufactured.
Subsequently, an additional 2,500 units were produced under the Fischer-Freitas name
