RETRO S100 ALTAIR 8800 Computer ARDUINO CLONE with Front PanelFor sale is a true emulator (clone) of the original MITS ALTAIR 8800 computer with front panel. It uses an pre-programmed ARDUINO DUE to faithfully emulate a 2Mhz Intel 8080 CPU which was the original CPU used the MITS 8800A and 8800B systems. The Arduino Due is an impressive 32-bit 84Mhz system on a chip which provides the full 8080\'s 64K RAM space as well as ROM storage. It runs open sourced code and is fully supported online. Comes with a micro SD slot and optional Bluetooth or serial with appropriate adapters. Possibly a shirt pocket computer if used with a powerbank and BT to mobile phone as the terminal!
Since the DIP switches are a little difficult to operate, this item is probably more suited to those looking to explore and use the software of a past generation and not so much for those looking for a hardware retro replica. Some people might try running software that was written 30 to 40 years ago.
Included with the front panel is a pre-programmed Arduino Due board. It can run CPM, Zork, MSBasic, Kill-the-Bit, Othello, StarTrek and many other games. The use of the two right hand AUX switches selects many functions and even includes an interactive on screen 8080 assembly language debugger. A great learning tool to show the internal working of one of the first microprocessors.
Comes ready to plug and go. Needs only a USB cable and an optional 9-12VDC power adapter which are not included. Use with a terminal emulation program or an actual terminal if available! This isa complete, tested and burned-in micro ALTAIR 8800 front panel clone and a pre-programmed Arduino Due. Please search for “David Hansel Altair” on the internet for much more information.
Designed, assembled and supported by an American engineer from Silicon Valley, California. Shipped world wide via airmail registered with tracking. Payment by PayPal only. Please ask seller for any additional information.
