Herb Johnson has a library of all of the Altair docs on the internet.

I also have all of the original manuals that came with the kit.
Interesting S100 add-on cards are getting to be very difficult to find.
Please, when you get the computer, DO NOT power it up if it has off for more than ten
years.
Search the classic computer archive for instructions on bringing it back to life safely.

A friend is getting one from his father, who got it
around the end of
1975. He asked me about sources for manuals and documentation, plus
sources for boards to upgrade the system. Further questioning revealed
that he wont get the unit until he travels back to visit the parents,
:)) Well, since I will visit various places during the next 7 weeks,
I may offer my help to pick it up for free !... Am I a nice guy ?
Ciao
