Default Build and enjoy!
Build it after CAREFULLY duplicating the 1702 PROM for the front panel. Be extra careful with static discharge when working with the 4000 series chips as they are early CMOS and rather sensative. I suspect that Grant must have the PROM source for his replica kit. Oh - I do remember the fun of actually getting something to run and being able to work on it at the signal level - now all we do is swap cards.

UPDATE: My notes above refere to an Altair 8800B not an ALtair 8800A - Sorry for the confusion.
