MITS Altair Replica
Wikipedia: The MITS Altair 8800 was a microcomputer design from 1975, based on the Intel 8080 CPU. Sold as a kit through Popular Electronics magazine.
Now in 2007 – 32 years after the release – a geek by heart created a kit of 8800 and 680 replicas.
On the Creation of a kit subpage it is explaned how the design was copied:
- scanning the boards
- scanning the x-ray of the boards
- lot of manual hacking
- creating the boards
- debugging
- fixing the bugs introduced by the scan
Kudos, great way to preserve history :)
