As an original Altair 8800 owner I'm just completely floored and impressed by this. It rekindles the memories of the passion I felt and the dreams I had when I brought my Altair kit home from the COMPUTER KITS store in Berkeley in 1976. I have looked at all your pictures at altairkit.com and I'm amazed at your ability to reverse engineer the original Altair in such incredible detail.
I have a few questions of you:
What does Ed Roberts think of this? Is he supportive?
Why and where did you deviate from the original design; e.g., the switching power supply?
Are you satisfied with "Kill the bit" or are you going to run CPM, etc. with a printer and dumb terminal?

I went back and looked at your altaircomputerclub email and I see that you are working on a Super Altair card. Will this work on the original Altair? I'm thinking it will. Currently, I have my Altair connected to a Gateway PC with an RS-232 connection and hyperterminal. A LAN connection would be nice.
