Image titled “Tech Spec Tuesday — Altair 8800.” Background: blueprint-style computer schematics. Header: “TECH SPEC TUESDAY” in white text on a blue banner. Main section: Left side shows a photo of an Altair 8800 computer with its distinctive blue case and visible internal boards. Right side text block labeled “About this machine:” reads: “Released in 1975 by MITS, the Altair 8800 is often credited as the spark that ignited the personal computer revolution. It used toggle switches for input and LEDs for output, and inspired Bill Gates and Paul Allen to write a BASIC interpreter—founding Microsoft.” Below is a specs table: CPU: Intel 8080 @ 2 MHz Memory: 256 bytes – 64 KB Storage: Paper tape, cassette, optional floppy Graphics: None (front panel lights/switches) Networking: None built-in Notes: Sparked the homebrew computer revolution Bottom right: “vintage.computer” inside a blue rounded rectangle.
The Altair 8800 started the homebrew computer revolution. Built around the Intel 8080 and programmed with front-panel switches, it inspired a generation of hobbyists and led Gates and Allen to write their first BASIC interpreter. #Altair8800 #VintageComputing #VintageComputer

🇫🇷 Partie droite de l'Altair. Certaines led sont allumées, d'autres sont éteintes. Les interrupteurs sont tous en position "OFF" sauf A3 qui est en position "ON". 🇮🇹 Parte destra dell'Altair. Alcuni led sono accesi, altri sono spenti. Gli interruttori sono tutti in posizione "OFF" salvo A3 che è in posizione "ON".
🇮🇹 Delusione. Il pannello frontale è perfetto per entrare programmi (anche se richiede tempo), per mostrare indirizzi e valori. Invece, non è conveniente per mostrare e inserire dati. Sarà obbligatorio ricorrere a un terminale: nessun vero gioco con l'Altair solo.

Image titled “Wow That’s Fascinating – The Altair 8800 Launched a Revolution.” The design resembles a retro computer terminal with orange monospaced text on a black background framed by a beige border. Text reads: “When the Altair 8800 appeared on the cover of Popular Electronics in 1975, it sparked the personal computer movement—and inspired Gates and Allen to write BASIC for it.” At the bottom, a small orange circuit icon and globe symbol appear beside the text vintage.computer.
When the Altair 8800 appeared on the cover of Popular Electronics in 1975, it ignited the personal computer revolution, and even inspired Gates and Allen to write the first version of BASIC for it. #VintageComputing #Altair8800 #RetroTech #ComputerHistory #VintageComputer

Copies d'écran de la console du navigateur et de l'affichage du code hexadécimal de l'émulateur.
Lassé (déjà) de taper des 0 et des 1 (surtout quand il faut insérer un octet au début) je suis heureux de voir qu'il existe un moyen de mémoriser/modifier/restaurer le code.

Step into 1975, before the Surface and even before Windows. Microsoft puts together a working developer garage with retro tech, coding puzzles, and a replica Altair PC running AI tools. #Microsoft #MicrosoftBuild #Altair8800 #Copilot #Azure #TechHistory designtaxi.com/news/427366/...

With all this Trump nonsense about, today's 'Top Trump' is the #Altair8800. This is to commemorate a week in which Bill Gates released the source code for Altair 8800 BASIC to celebrate #50years of #MSFT. This is the code MSFT was founded on.

Bill Gates has a #nostalgic #retro site www.gatesnotes.com/meet-bill/so... with the #sourcecode of the influential software from the #70s: #BASIC for the #ALTAIR8800 in #Intel8080 assembly language.
I can’t remember calling anything from #Microsoft cool or interesting before.
