Has anybody got an ALTAIR that actually runs CP/M?
I rans MITS DISK BASIC back when.
Also using NS* MDS-A both NSdos and CP/M-1.4.
I have one OS for an Altair, namely a system with the
MITS serial board
an a
Morrow DJ2. Not being an Altair-owner myself, I
don't know how, exactly
to
prepare a BIOS for the two Altair add-ons I'm
building up for eventual
liquidation on eBay.
The altair was a regular conflagureation of hardware often a MITS 8080,
one
of the SIOs or 2SIOs and mostly everyone elses disk controller. the most
common at the time was the NS* MDS-A, ICOM FDOS and some of the
various 1771 based boards. Most people replaced the backplane at that
point
as the MITs bus assembly (save for the later -B version) wer really bad
for
noise.
