Default Super Altair card

Your description of the Super Altair Card sounds much more powerful than the original computer.

Rambling Thoughts
I was intrigued by the thought of owning my own computer since I learned a little about the DEC PDP-8I. I wanted to learn as much as I could and be in the vanguard of a new movement. Once I got it assembled and working, it sort of snowballed from there: Boy did it snowball! Where would the Arpanet, I mean internet, be today if no one could afford a personal computer.
There is a renewed interest in old computers nowadays. In my observation there seems to be several categories of people interested in this subject today:
Nostalgia buffs, like me with most of the fire burned out and just imperfect memories left.
- Collectors who are excited by the thought of owning something rare.
- Profit seekers who want to buy and sell vintage things on ebay.
- Modern day kindred spirits in the mold of the original enthusiasts.
End ramble
