[details on the SD System S-100 card set in an Altair 8800 chassis,
with assorted other cards]

Thanks for the referral, Randy. In fact I have manuals on most of the 
cards that William mentioned, and I've emailed William accordingly. As 
Randy posted, it looks to me like there is not much left of the Altair, 
in the Altair! The SD System stuff probably ran the CP/M or SDOS system 
on those disks with that system. It would be reasonable, in fact, to get 
*another* S-100 box and put those SD System cards in THAT; and to see 
about rebuilding the remaining, actual MITS cards and the MITS chassis 
seperately. The MITS might need a very old memory card to work with that 
8080 processor and front panel, due to some bus differences.

But it's all in what the new owner wants to do and what resources he 
obtains to do so.
