Hey Kip I can't help you with the software, but I just finished an Altair restoration (my first) a few months ago, and am still interested in getting the machine connected and actually doing something interesting. The Altair was almost totally below the radar by the time I really started getting up to speed on micros, which would have been around 1983-1984 or so. This one was sort-of given to me by a former colleague of mine, around eight years ago. It was a total basket case, a real pile.. but it seems to be sorted at this point.
It would be great if you'd let me follow along, keep in touch and let me know how you're working to get the Altair linked up to the term, getting the system bootstrapped, loading software, etc.. that's been a problem here, figuring out the serial I card (or finding one to replace it, that does have docs).
