The Cadetwriter flyer can be found at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yhxq788j8g6j2sz/Cadetwriter%20Flyer.pdf?dl=0 One sharp-eyed person who actually read my post, Steve Tockey, noticed that I had switched the software running on the replicas. The real demos will be: * ALTAIR 8800 replica (Chris Davis) via RS-232 running MITS Extended 16K BASIC (Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Monte Davidoff) * PiDP-8/I replica (Oscar Vermeulen) via USB running OS/8 That'll teach me to do a quick posting before I get in the car for a 6-hour drive to VCF.

We're hoping for a lot of takers We're finishing getting the documentation written or updated and everything uploaded to GitHub. It should all be available next week. We appreciate your patience.
