The book "Altair 8800" by Alphascript Publishing offers a comprehensive analysis of the MITS Altair 8800, one of the first microcomputer designs that hit the market in 1975. Based on the Intel 8080 CPU, the Altair 8800 was originally sold through advertisements in trade magazines and unexpectedly gained immense popularity among hobbyists. The book highlights the development of the Altair 8800, its significance for the microcomputer revolution, and its impact on computer technology. It also discusses the emergence of the S-100 bus, which served as a standard for many subsequent computers, as well as the role of Altair BASIC, the first programming language for this computer, which led to the founding of Microsoft. Authors Frederic P. Miller, Agnes F. Vandome, and John McBrewster provide a detailed examination of the technical and historical aspects of this groundbreaking device.
