Great idea Kai! Couple of comments.

I think from a collecting standpoint, these two should be separated.
Granted, they are basically the same but I would consider the MOS version
far more collectable.

Do you possibly mean the MAX-80? I hadn't heard of a PMC-80.

I have asked a few people but so far no response. Since this was originally
named the Micro-Altair, did any of those machines actually get shipped with
that name? If so, I would consider them to be rather rare and worthy of a
separate listing.
