NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR 2nd RUN.

After several years of R&D, the time is finally here! Please note this is the most complete project I’ve done thus far and there is a lot to the kit. You will need your own power supply, keyboard and monitor. The power supply will need to be 7-9 volt DC 2.1mm positive center. The keyboard is a ps/2 and the monitor can be VGA or composite video monitor or TV. Your kit will include 2 blank pcb’s, all the components for the pcb’s (chips, LED’s, switches, sockets, etc), 1 case, 2 panels (front/rear) and a CD with the manual and other Altair documents and software panels.

There is a supply shortage on the ATMEGA8515 used as the CPU of the Altair 8800micro. We have 50 now, and more will be available in July. So, we will take 50 preorders. If you don’t make the first batch of 50, I will let you know and you can choose to wait or reorder in July. The front and rear panel board order is being placed this week and will take 4-6 weeks to arrive. Once the front/rear panels are in, I will start filling orders. This will take some time but I expect to ship 50 orders within 2 weeks. I will email you with updates as they are available.

Since you are receiving a revision 0 unit, your help will be appreciated with reporting any errors or bugs. This will help making the system the best it can be. If you have any questions at any time, feel free to ask.

Here is the special page for preorders. This page is only known to the people who asked to be on the list. I will not make the preorder page known to everyone else until Wednesday so you have time to order.
