My first computer was a a year or two older than this and came assembled. It was not electronic but electric powered by batteries. All it had was 3 slide bars and patch cords which was used for programming.

This is great. When I was taught some computer history they seemed to leave out kits and homebrewing, making it seem as if IBM and Apple were the pioneers of microcomputers. I never even heard of Altair before I stumbled on briel computers.

@Roflcopter4b it is not "wothless" , it was a very good computer

@doritostheking Dude, not only is that ridiculous ad hominem, but you're wrong. It really did next to nothing, all you could do was input byte by byte on the front panel. People bought it mostly for the novelty of having their own computer. Thus, it didn't sell too massively until Microsoft released their BASIC interperator.

@Roflcopter4b Go jump up your own ass. If it was really useless, nobody would have bought it.

@majcherek128 It seems unlikely to me is all. This computer was worthless until Bill Gates wrote a BASIC interperator for it years after release.

@Roflcopter4b Try thinking FreeDOS ported to the 8080. That is not impossible.

@Roflcopter4b Lol.. I just hit the thumbs up, when I wanted to hit reply.
It could indeed run DOS, it would be slow, no doubt about that. But it could indeed.
And no, we're not talking about a straight-out-of-box MS-DOS 6!
I mean, of course that wouldn't work :/

@majcherek128 Impossible, it barely ran BASIC.
