If true, this is interesting in a "Treasure

the machine did eventually show up, it may still exist. The legend of its
loss is familiar to most collectors, so if you could prove that you had
_that_ machine, it would presumably be worth a lot more than your average
Altair. If Ed Roberts verifies this story, it would be interesting to know
if Altair prototype #1 had any features that would positively identify it.
From what I understand the bus was wired up as opposed
to being a PCB
board. The pictures in the Jan/75 issue of PE show three boards
being
stacked one upon the other with 1" standoffs in between. Was this a
mock-up?
