Altair 8800 micro 88 DSK RAM preorder page

sold out, sorry. Production to begin soon

Thank you for your interest in the Altair 8800 micro 88 DSK RAM project. We are now taking preorders for the disk RAM card seen attached to the Altair 8800micro mainboard below. This board will give you the ability to run CP/M from your Altair. This is a beta release and will be limited to 20 boards, one per customer. After this release is out, then the production version will follow shortly. The board gives you 32K extra RAM for a total of 64K RAM, 2 512K RAM chips give you 2 floppy RAM images. A battery connector for NiMH batteries to keep the RAM drives from loosing memory.

NOTE: Batteries are not included. Most NiCd or NiMH batteries will work.

The 20 beta kits will include a new ATmega8515 for the CPU giving the user version 5.1 of the CPU firmware designed to handle to disk controller, and many new features. The wait time will be around 4-6 weeks due to wait time on the blank boards.

 

 

The price for the boards are $99.95 for a kit or $119.95 assembled and tested.

Please note that there are only 20 units in the first batch because this is a test beta run. This is open to everyone but please remember that this is a beta run and there are probably going to be issues along the way.

You will receive an email notice when the boards are shipping. Thank you for helping with this project.
