Hello All, Received my kit today! I've read the manual, and I'll try to put it together this weekend. I have a software question that's always bothered me. All of the CP/M systems I've played with have been Z80 based. I believe the Altair8800 emulates the 8080. Does this make a difference to softwar...

Kit #104 is kicking ass and taking names in Ontario, Canada.

It worked first time without a hitch.

Way to go Vince! I'm checking out your CP/M progress and cheering!
