| Tom Durston's Optional Configuration Boards
Optional Configuration Boards are
part of Tom Durston's system that are in the process of being tested.
Not all boards can be in the system the same time. Some boards need
additional cables.
The decision to include these boards is based on interest in alternate configurations and repair/testing status.
The Main Page Configuration has been tested. Supplemental Resources are included.

Optional - Tom Durston's 88-SIOA
(RS-232) (not tested)
The
orange markings are likely T&R for Test and Repair. The 88-SIO is
early generation Altair and was replaced by the 88-2SIO in newer
Altairs. The current configuration uses the modern 88-2SIOJP.

The
88-UIO adds cassette capability for MITS standard or KC standard

Optional - Tom Durston's 4K Static Memory Boards
(4 boards, need repair)
Tom Durston's mainframe was used to design the 4K Static Memory Board.
Four
of these boards could be used to provide 16K. The total power
requirements for four boards is one reason for the 8800B power supply
design.
Three 4K boards would allow address space for the optional 88-PMC.
The board in the photo has a star and "A.h." marking indicating MITS technician Alan Haskins.
Tom Durston's Custom Altair system contains four 16K static memory boards.
