I was pretty amazed when I first saw this, thinking these were all genuine originals. No. But they are a *very* cool kit!

Shift The #Altair CPU board has been completed. Next, I'll apply voltage to try to ensure that nothing will go poof. Then, my plan is to populate a few sockets near the crystal to see if I get a clock. If so, I'll populate the remainder of the board, power it up on the bench, and see if the 8080 runs. #RetroComputing

More #Altair parts have arrived! Look at my shiny black S-100 backplane boards! I had them made at JLCPCB. #RetroComputing

And the interface board is done... At least until parts arrive. #Altair #RetroComputing

The #Altair CPU board is as complete as I can make it with the parts that have arrived so far. When the rest of the resistors arrive, I'll apply some power and check voltages before I socket any of the ICs.
