Provenance: The system is owned by the
original owner, an Engineering Manager at the Altair factory MITS. The
system was used to develop MITS products, including the 8800b. Some boards have markings identifying MITS Engineers and internal MITS use. The system was used to develop multiple Altair products.
Time
Saving: This system is highly functional and can be assembled into a
working system will little work. It would take a very long time to
assemble a similar collection of working parts. Getting two working
drives and a controller pair is very difficult.
Risk Reduction: Disk drives serviced and tested. System assembled and tested just prior to shipping. RAM tested and passed two memory tests.
Power:
A full 64K of static RAM. Three serial ports. Software includes MITS
and CP/M diskettes with Altair Accounting, DOS, BASIC, and Remote CP/M.
Services: Boards tested and repaired. Drives tested, repaired, and serviced.
Enhanced firmware and software including Remote CP/M and Altair Accounting Software (download). Powerful AltMon PROM monitor.
