Great! I have a couple of Wyse terminals as well.
Note that as of Clone firmware version 1.91, serial port 2 can also be used to load floppy disk images. This allows using a terminal as the console on serial port 1 and using a PC connected to serial port 2 only when you need to transfer a disk image. The port to use for disk image transfer is set in the "Floppy Drive Settings" sub-menu of the "Admin" menu.

For your next clone (!) How about allowing real floppies to be interfaced? :)

When it rains it pours. Just received another 1. This 1 can stay packed away from that yellowing Sun of ours!
Now if only an unopened Model 33 would turn up...

I installed a Dell Wyse Terminal Board in my Altair and connected the Serial Port Internally, It works great

My Altair Clone has become a fixture at the Maryville College retro game night. Two of my freshmen students are shown here playing "kill the bit", which they toggled in. Every time I show this machine to students they want to run up and flip the switches. (I always let them do it, of course!)

Here is my Altair with a DEC VT220 terminal. I was using the Radio Shack Cassette Player to load cassette BASIC.

Re: Post a picture of your Altair.
I'm a little envious, Kurt. I'd love to find a legit VT terminal for mine. As it is, I'm making do with my PC, and I have a metal-enclosed 12" LCD for when I want to go portable.
Here's my clone and my 'duino together.
