Altair 8800 Laptop (9x41)


Udgivelsesdato: Nov 08, 2019

Remember Matt's replica Altair 8800 build from a while back? It should come as no surprise that he's a fan of the retro electronics (see also: Project Hawthorne, Project Essex, and Project Pripyat), but due to lack of space, he keeps mainly portables and smaller form factor devices. Even at a reduced size, the Altair replica didn't sit quite right because it still required a full-sized terminal to function properly. So, in this project, Matt converts the desktop Altair into a self-contained laptop replete with emulated green phosphor screen, toggles, and glorious blinkenlights all in a handsome aluminum case that would not have been out of place during the disco era!
