Here's one for you...a kind sole that I know on
CompuServe was kind enough to
produce color scans of the original MITS Altair article from the 1/75 issue of
Popluar Electronics. I posted it yesterday on the Classic Computer ftp site
under the name altarmag.zip. The file is big (3.7mb), containing about 9 jpgs.
Wait till you see the color!
But don't look for it yet. It has been removed for review while I contact
Ziff-Davis about reprint. I already spoke with the current owners of PE who
apparently don't own the rights to the old issues. Probably be a couple days
but I anticipate they'll be happy to let us use it.
I'm also working on this guy to prepare Adobe PDF
scans of the original
Altair construction manual and schematics. I've seen some scans previously,
but they have shadows, etc. Hopefully, these will be of similar quality to the
mag scans.
Please remember to get a copy of DS-form.txt from ftp://140.142.225.27/pub/
classiccmp/docs when submitting material. Saves me a lot of time and effort
to have that information.
Glad to see people are starting to use the archive!
