The board house that makes the blank PCB’s is on break until the 29th so we have to wait 2 weeks from that date to get our next batch of boards. Any future replica 1 orders will not ship until after the 14 of Feb.

Now taking preorders for the Altair micro disk controller
by vbriel on Oct.12, 2011, under News
We are going to do a small beta run of 20 units of the disk controller for the Altair 8800micro. This add-on board will give the Altair micro 64K of total RAM and 2 RAM disk drives that are battery backed (batteries not included). Now you can run CP/M on your Altair 8800micro and enjoy all the programs that are available for it. The board uses the expansion connector but gives you another connector onboard so you don’t loose any expansion options.

Next month we will tidy up a few loose ends and get the card release to the general public. The code included is an open source demo program found on a prodos 140K image file here:
