I wanted one of those 9600-bps acoustic couplers.  :-)

I tried getting my IMSAI going last summer; the processor seemed to
act OK, but I suspect the boot ROM has decayed.  It appears to be
almost impossible to find either a 2708 or a programmer for it, 
but I've come across a hack that lets you use half of a 2716 instead.
I think I can find a listing of the ROM contents, so there's a chance
I could get it going - along with my H19 terminal and the model 35RO
Teletype I used as a printer - in my copious free time (hah!).
