I know of only two collectors besides myself who have
5100's. In
contrast, there are about 15 Altairs represented on this mailing list.
I have one of the things, along with most of the associated bits.
Unfortunately, The two BIG floppies were scrapped by the previous owner -
thus, I am in need of one or two (5108 maybe?).
I have never fired it up, as it has some power supply problems that need
to be solved. Once I fix that (currently in the endless queue of
projects) I should make some copies of the software (if the tapes are
still good) for other collectors. My example actually earned its keep,
doing the accounting for a Chicago movie theater in the late 1970s.
