I am the owner of my uncle's old MITS Altair 8800b. 
When I got it, it would boot-up occasionaly, but now
is rather dead.  I'd like to get it running to use for 
experimentation (it's got all those card slots)

I have the computer, two complete 8" drives (I want to
interface it to 5 1/4" drives), two incomplete 8" drives,
and the terminal.  I have very little documentation.

I am looking for any information on this old beast.
I really need technical info -- schematics, bus specs,
operating sys software, switch settings, etc.

I may also be interested in buying any old Altair parts.
