- I am the owner of my uncle's old MITS Altair.
- (1978 model 8800b). I have some software (CP/M),
- two complete 8" drives, the computer and a terminal.
-
- It would occasionaly run when I got it. Now it is rather
- dead. I'd like to get it up and going to use it for
- experimentation (it's got a lot of slots for expansion
- cards). I have practically no documentation.
-
- I am interested in info (old magazine articles, books) on
- this beast. I really need to find some good in depth
- technical info- schematics, bus specs, programs, etc.
-
- I may be interested in buying any old Altair parts.
