Excellent podcast! I found this through one of the 8-bit Atari podcasts. Great subject matter. I’m a computer history buff myself. Just finished up through the IMASI episode. You found some interesting stories there. There are many others for this machine in a book called “Fire in the Valley”. As well as many for others machines from this time period.
I live near The Computer History Museum here in Silicon Valley. Your podcast is following that part of the walking tour very closely. Which I find entertaining. Well done!
Just a minor, minor feedback about the podcast. One of you does not have the best recording/microphone equipment, and it makes part on the conversation hard to understand. Occasionally the conversations rambles off topic for a while and I find myself thinking about other podcasts until you get back on track. But all in all, a very entertaining and informative show. I look forward to hearing more.
Thanks

I’m probably the one with the low audio. In the earlier episodes, I was still trying to configure my setup.
