Response to Hey, a new Altair kit ??

Thanks for all of the comments guys. :) I had hard time getting on here or I would have responded sooner. :) I'm glad that people who wrote about it seemed to like it. I have ordered parts for 20 and will be selling them again for a reduced price (compared to the ebay auctions). I'm looking forward to making other kits of other systems. I also have a few original projects, like a 19,008 LED bit mapped display. Blinkin' light Pong anyone? The case is mechanically identical. The rear panel is the same as my 221846K (that Altair was used as the source for the kit). I didn't even know what the two 1/4" holes under the DB25s were for until after I had received the first case. In fact, I didn't even remember noticing them! They are for the cassette interface. :) I thought this too, and did it to make mine different...however I recently saw an 8800 on ebay with a green mask! It might have been a rev1 or even rev2 board. The source boards did not have a solder mask. I made the mask because I thought it was an improvement (and because it makes things a little different). boxes... Thats part of the experience that you're paying for when you get the kit! ;) Grant
