RETRO ALTAIR 8800 S100 Computer ARDUINO CLONE
For sale is a true emulator (clone) of the original MITS ALTAIR 8800 computer with front panel. It uses a pre-programmed ARDUINO DUE to faithfully emulate the 2Mhz Intel 8080 which was the CPU used the original MITS system. The Arduino Due is an impressive 32-bit 84-Mhz system-on-a-chip (SOC) which provides the full 8080\'s 64K address space as well as additional ROM storage for built-in programs like 16K Basic and diagnostics. Runs open-source code and is fully supported and documented online under GNU GPL license.
Included with the front panel PCB is a properly programmed Arduino Due. It can run full CPM 2.2, Kill-the-Bit, MS Basic, Othello, StarTrek and many other legacy games. The use of the two right hand AUX switches selects one of the many functions and even includes an interactive on-screen 8080 assembly language debugger. A great educational tool. Keying in or selecting a program is made easier with toggle switches like the original Altair.
Dimensions are 102 by 84mm or 4 by 3.3 inches. The optional 9-12VDC power adapter and micro SD card are not included. For use with a terminal emulation program. Please search the internet for “David Hansel Altair” on the internet for much more information on this brilliant work.
Comes fully assembled and ready for use. Not a KIT! Designed, manufactured and supported by an experienced, graduate American engineer from Silicon Valley, California. Professional, industrial strength (not hobby) quality - designed with the modern CAD tools Orcad and Protel.
