My professional career was in programming and mainframe data centers systems
management since the late '60's. Since I hand-built and kept upgrading my
IMSAI in '76, I developed "skills": soldering, circuit reading, a smattering of
electronics, and not being able to afford to keep up with the breakneck pace, I
scrounged and salvaged old computers and made them work. Unfortunately it's
not transferable, and as Euclid told Ptolemy, "There is no royal road to
geometry." Learn by doing.

Hi Paul;
A contemporaneous "Upgrading and Repairing PCs" book of the era. I have
Scott Mueller's 10th Edition for the old stuff.
I have Fix Your own PC by Sandler Seventh Edition..
My professional career was in programming and mainframe data centers systems
management since the late '60's.
You probably would recognize my other Computer that needs fixing up for the
up-teemth time, it has been fixed and broke and fixed and broke..
It is a PDP 11/45, I do not have the Chassis, nor the frame that it was
originally in, but I have all of the Boards and the Motherboard and the Front
Panel.. Which are held together in a wooden frame.. (Quite heavy)..
Since I hand-built and kept upgrading my IMSAI in '76, I developed "skills":
soldering, circuit reading, a smattering of electronics, and not being able to
afford to keep up with the breakneck pace.
I know that one , but mine is the Altair instead of an IMSAI..
And I have collected a bunch of old computers, and gotten rid of many of what I
have had..
Thank You for Your Interest and Your Response..
THANK YOU Marty
