1K STATIC MEM Board

8800 CPU Board

 

11/25/2006: I won an Altair 8800 Kit on eBay.com.  Auction Details here.

12/5/2006:  The kit arrived today via FedEx.  I unpacked it, and took some pictures.  Then, I put it back in the box, in hopes of keeping it there until Christmas.  I will start assembling the kit after that.

12/25/2006: Christmas Day.  The kit appeared under our Christmas tree.  I opened it again, and this time, I took a look into more of the parts envelopes, and built the motherboard.

12/30/2006: New Years Eve-Eve: I assembled the 1K Static Memory Board.

12/31/2006 New Years Eve: I started the 8800 CPU Board.

1/1/2007: New Years Day: I finished the 8800 CPU Board, except for the CPU socket.

1/7/2006: I finished the 8800 CPU Board.
