Altair 8800 micro production status
by vbriel on Apr.04, 2010, under ALTAIR 8800micro, News
The Altair 8800 micro is getting closer to completion. We have just sent off for a final prototype to test. The latest prototype will have toggle switches for a more authentic look and feel. We are targetting June for the release and will probably take preorders in May. The estimated price is $199 but the formal announcement will be made once we get confirmation on production prices. Work will begin on the manual soon since there are many features on the micro that were not on the original Altair. Photo’s of the final prototype will be available when it is built.

Are you taking names for a mailing list? If so, I’d like to be notified when it’s available and the final cost. If not, I’ll just have to poll this site regularly.
