IMSAI II - still viable OR has anyone else lost their deposit?

[Robert Stek]

I was an early fan of the Todd Fischer's IMSAI II project (www.imsai.net)
and sent off a deposit several years ago.  I even offered to review it in
Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar Ink (I'm a friend of Steve's and formerly lived in
Hartford).  I understand the problems of a task like re-inventing the IMSAI
and think that I have been more than patient.  His website is still active,
he has a copyright date of 2007 on it, and it appears that you can still
order not only an IMSAI II but other items as well.

 

Unfortunately I have emailed him several times over the past 12-18 months
and haven't had the courtesy of a response.  I know he's there - he posts in
comp.os.cpm - but from him to me: nada, zip, zilch, nothing.

 

Is there anyone else on the list who was as retrospectively foolish as I as
to trust him with a deposit?  It doesn't speak much for his ethics if he
advertises and takes orders for non-existent products (who was that guy and
his company that advertised in Kilobaud, among others, back in the '70's
with full page ads for non-existent products?  Remember that?).  And his
customer service skills are non-existent if he just ignores politely worded
inqueries re: progress on the product.

 

So, am I the only one still waiting for an IMSAI II?
