Is there any logic to the naming of these Altairs? Wonder why it wasn't "Altair 8080" and "Altair 6800". 8800 and 680 don't follow the same pattern.

Had MITS made other Altairs...

Altair 8800 = 8080
       8850 = 8085
       8860 = 8086
       8880 = 8088
       8286 = 80286
       8386 = 80386
       680  = 6800
       680  = 6809
       680  = 68000
