Baby's first welding project. Don't really have a place to weld so I made a simple welding/fixturing surface I can put on a bench, or saw horses or just on the driveway. Was kind of hard to set up since I didn't have a welding/fixturing surface to work on... Low res so you can't zoom in on my welds. :P In my defense the metal is thicker than my welder can handle in its current set up.

A new #altair 8800c lives! It's been running and stable today. Here it is running kill the bit.

I have a few more cards I'm assembling that I can play with later, too.

#Altair front panel is in. I'm missing a PSU and all the wiring needed to power everything but at least now it looks the part.

Couldn't let the pile get any bigger before I had to start building the #Altair

Robotron provided program cassettes. One of which included 3 ~5 minute demo programs in BASIC. The flip side of the cassette was an audio narration describing the technical specs and features of your new KC 87 computer while the program ran (with the help of you hitting enter at the beeps).

A cool #retrocomputing multimedia experience.

Robotron KC 87 and a couple RAM expansion cartridges. BASIC is in ROM, video is only black and white.

I need to rig up a video cable. The connector on the computer is male. I've never seen that before.

I'm always tickled when someone mentions the table(5) man page.
