No relation to the seller.

Big fan here. I grew up building Steve Ciarcia's projects, many
of which were developed using one of those.
In fact, Steve Ciarcia's very machine was sold on eBay a couple of
years ago, and alas, I was broke then too.

Nice looking machine, though the price asked is insane...
I wonder why the keyboard wasn't centered in that enclosure?
I remember the guy that ran that company publishing articles with all of the
technical details included in the articles, and it was pretty simple and
straightforward stuff. That backplane/mainboard looked a whole lot like the
image I'm remembering from some article or other.
If I found one of these I'd probably take it home. But pay anything like
that? He's crazy. Not to mention "Altair" and "1976" being
inaccurate, as
well as "mid-1970s", this was a bit later than that, late 1970s at least.

Digital Group shipped between 1976 ( some things, maybe late 1975) and 1979.
Robert Suding, who founded and led it, has recently disconnected from
the net.
He is a very nice and prolific guy.

That's the name I was thinking of and couldn't remember...

I know I enjoyed the articles, back then.
