Thanks for the info. As far as I've been able to find out, which is lillte
more than speculation, I'm afraid, these "MITS Hard Disk Controller" boxes
were just prepared for trade shows and demos and were never mass-produced.
Since I can convert them into something useful without damaging them in any
way, I'll go ahead and do that. It would appear there were fewer than half
a dozen of these made, and they were never mmass-marketed.

Dick,
I found the article that tells about Ed Roberts. See
"http://www.grocerybill.com/altair/index.html"
Also the auction for the 8" floppies just closed. I got $30 for the box
of 3M floppies and $17/box for the others. There were only two bidders but
you can get their address at
"http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=122887882".

Dick,
It still sounds like they have a significant collector and historical
value in their own right. Like it or not MITS was at the heart of the
micro-computer revolution. It would be interesting to see what one of the
boxs would bring on E-OverPay.
