You. are. my. hero. Thank you!

Currently working to restore an original Cromemco Cyclops board! I found Bill Sudbrink's incredible website and recreations, and was wondering if anyone had dimensions on the TenTec JW-6 enclosure used in the article. I found a close match (JW-8) and want to cut it down to size, but can't seem...

Sold!

Ah good point - was quick to title it as Soyuz, but could be any spacecraft. https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/344878006193620-soviet-spacecraft-data-recorder

Slowly selling off the collection of space oddities - thought it would be a fun project to get it running to save BASIC programs or playing music, but I don't have nearly the technical experience required to begin approaching that one. The build quality is amazing, including the cartridge...

Picked this gem up on eBay a few months ago for $1,500 - we're moving house, so not looking to make a profit & selling for what I paid. Will be listing on eBay this week. It's from the original owner & builder, who spent his first paycheck on the original kit, only to store it all away and...

Been searching for a printer for an ongoing project. Will be put to good use!

Question: Is the Altair running the speech synthesis w/ panel lights simultaneously here? Super cool if so.

Agreed - imagine we'd probably need a way to parse responses from GPT to relevant commands, and could probably use AI to write the code, given a comprehensive list of the vocabulary / allophones. Maybe in a few weeks GPT will know more. The speed of progress reminds me of this:

Got it working! Wrote a little test loop in BASIC w/ an OUT command to port number 48 which runs through the two vocabulary ROMS. No clue as to what the DIP switch settings mean on the Netronics board, but we have: - SPK enabled for onboard speaker - A7 enabled - A6 enabled - A5 disabled - A4...

Wow! Very cool - I have Altair 8800 S/N 222699K, not too far from yours. Digging into your site & Mike Douglas' notes & will keep that in mind if the project doesn't go anywhere!

Thanks! Curious to see if I can get it talking with a simplified LLM.

Hey hi! I recently acquired an Electric Mouth-1 board, which utilizes the Digitalker MM54104 chip & two vocabulary ROMS, and have it installed on my Explorer 85. Documentation seems to be pretty scarce online. Any help would be super appreciated!

Not a bad idea!

Thanks Alex!

Thanks for the excellent tip! That’s a great path forward, as I do have a 5160 ready to go. I’ll look into the ISA backplanes that may fit. That said, if anyone happens to have an original, i’m offering a significant premium over market price, depending on the condition / included boards.

Just finished a labor of love - 4 months of woodwork, soldering, and testing to get a hyperaccurate Byte Shop case, Datanetics keyboard, and Sanyo monitor. Highly recommend the process for anyone interested in the Apple 1! A few replication tips: - Found accurate Byte Shop case measurements...

Building out the kit & happy to pay above market value. Hoping to find one with the cable and receiver card.

Have an SWTPC printer sitting around? Would love to put it to good use for AI-powered art project with an Apple 1! Willing to pay above market value.

Just chiming in to say, I love this idea. Installed the reset and turbo button in the extra space on the XTIDE card so as to not modify the case, but leaning on those digits as an external turbo signal sounds awesome.
