I got my first Imsai 8080 (except that I got a Z80 processor) and a 
Hazeltine 1500 dumb terminal in April 1975. Worked with cassette tapes 
and a ROM monitor for a number of years. Expanded with a DEC-Writer II 
printing terminal in September. A couple of years later, I moved to 
CPM-80 and a floppy disk drive.
