Altair Construction Manual - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

15 Jul 1997

Glenn:

	Thanks for the encouragement. It seems that at one time, one of us did try to 
contact TA to no avail. Should we try again?? I'd need to get the contact info 
...
 from the gent that tried it the first time, and
I'll give it a second  go-around.

outstanding!  i continue to applaud your efforts.

i would think that all we need to proceed is a trail of evidence showing a
"reasonable effort" to receive permission in this area.

this can be a precedent-setting effort for publication of all kinds of
useful historical information that might otherwise be lost forever.

thanks again for blazing the trail!

 To all Altair fans...

	Well, my more-than-kind individual has provided me with the first of three 
installments of the original Altair construction manual. He scanned all 102 
pages of the doc and made it into a PDF document -- almost 7mb in size. He is 
...
 also providing me with manuals for "the 88-4K,
88-ACR, and other stuff." I'm 
not too familiar with all of the available options since the Altair was really 
...
 before my time, but it looks like the 4k memory board
and other stuff.

	I'm not going to U/L the docs yet, first for size reasons, and second, until 
...
 we determine if we should try to contact
Triumph-Adler...
