Here is mine, while loading the 8K BASIC

I love to play some tapes on that 8-track player while using the Altair :)

I posted a different setup with Cool-Retro-Term running on my x201t, but here's my current setup:

The thing on the far right is a Raspberry Pi, and its only role in this retro goodness is to transfer disk images over serial.

I'm a new member here and am very happy to say that I just got my Altair Clone. Here's mine on top of a MITS Altair 8800.

My mini Altair
No not really, this is my serial switch.
This allows me to have my Altair connected to my printer, paper tape punch, pocket term ACR to PC serial port 1 to PCs
In fact along with the PCs connection from the pocket term I have 3 serial connections to 3 instances of Terra Term.
This covers all my needs at present! without having to disconnect a serial lead.

I'd buy one of these if you're selling them: I'm using a bunch of off-the-shelf switch-boxes and the results aren't anything like as good as this.

Now that is cool!

Glad you like it. I'm sorry but I won't be selling these!
Trouble is the enclosure is a very old data switch box I had kicking about. Plus I'm in the UK.
You could convert another box, I was lucky, had this one kicking about that had 3 - 9pin serial 3 - VGA sockets and 3 Keyboard Sockets.
I have used 5 out of the 6 DB9 holes for 9 pin serial sockets and 3 - trailing input leads that connect to the Clone, go through the keyboard holes.
Best I can do is upload the artwork.

I'm in the UK too -- are you anywhere near the Midlands? I'd love to see your setup and discuss these amazing machines Mike has built. I'm at De Montfort University in Leicester.

Here's a snap of my humble setup.
I'm based in a small village next to the Channel Tunnel Terminal near Folkestone.
