Is it possible to use a Real Altair Disk Drive, with this machine?

The short answer is no, the Clone cannot connect to a real Atlair external drive. However, the disk images used on the Altair Clone are byte-for-byte copies of original Altair floppy disks. I have utilities to image a real Altair floppy to a file on a PC and vice-versa. This means that if you have access to an original Altair with a floppy drive, you can put any floppy from the Altair onto the Clone, and conversely, write disk content from the Clone to a real Altair floppy.
