I've got one in the collection. Needs a good cleaning, a boot disk, and
some docs... B^}

Mine tend to be in intermittant (if not frequent) use. Most reciently one
of my Altairs ended up hooked up to a DEC card reader, feeding data to my
PC, which... well... that would spoil the story! A longer form of the
story can be found on my web pages (see sig below) along with pix and (if I
get the time this weekend) an AVI clip of the operation...

While we're in the SWTPC arena, a question for the group:

I'm looking for some information, software, and docs on a recient addition
to the
collection.

The item in question is a board marked as a 'Digisector DS-68' from 'The
Micro Works'.

The board has a 1978 copyright on it, and appears to be designed for use
with an SS-50 bus machine such as the SWTPC 680x series of microcomputers.

Curiously, when it came to me it had been mated (fairly elegantly,
fortunately) to a MITS 4PIO board, apparently for use with an 8080 or Z-80
based system. (by someone with the full docs I would suspect)

I'd like to get it going in its original configuration/system. Any
assistance appreciated!
