Was going to comment that this reminded me of the old S-100 bus, and looking at the ads in Byte, and reading Chaos Manor, but obviously that couldn't be it, it had to be something else entirely, clicked and was pleasantly surprised.

It has IMSAI-8080!
You don't get the satisfying tactile flick-click of the real thing, but still, for about 0.06% of us, this brings an enormous smile!

Holy crap! When I was a child, my father got me my first computer, and it had a bunch of dongles and red LEDs. I looked at it for a few minutes, and was like, what the hell am I supposed to do with this? My dad was an electrical engineer at a steel plant, so I had assumed it was some sort of industrial automation computer. But no, it was an Altair 8800.
I couldn't figure it out so they just got rid of it. Wish I could go back in time and try again.

Wish I could read the text but someone decided it was more important to use dark gray text on black and dark-green backgrounds because it looks all trendy and cool and shit.

How do I... use this? There's no help button or anything
