The best Hacker/AI book ever (never made into a movie) was “The Adolescence of P1.”

The BOOK “Colossus” was pretty good too — the movie didn’t even come close to the book.

Being a movie prop, does it work or just have pretty flashing lighs?

The IMSAI 8080...their version of the Altair that actually worked. Their follow up model, not so much.

Intel 8080 processor at 2 MHz is fast enough...

Ah, the old IMSAI 8080, my second computer after the Altair 8800 brings back fond memories. I had 2 4K memory boards for a total of 8192 bytes of memory.
