PS/2 keyboard port
The ps/2 keyboard port gives the user the ability to use a standard PC style keyboard to type data into the
system. The ps/2 port is also connected to the terminal section and any data from it is treated the same as a
standard terminal.
DC Power input jack
The power input connector is a 2.5mm connector that accepts DC positive center connector. We suggest
using a 1A (1000mA) 7-9V DC regulated power supply. If you connect the system with an incorrect power
supply that has the + on the external connection, there is circuit protection up to 1A.
The overall experience of the Altair 8800 mini will give the user a real life feel to what it was like to
program a computer with lights and switches in the pioneering days of computers. Kit builders will find the
experience of building a full system fun and rewarding.
