The '''MITS Altair 8800''' microcomputer was the first microcomputer kit offered for sale. It could also be purchased assembled. First available in 1975, it packaged an S-100 bus with a front-panel. The CPU card had an [[Intel 8080]] processor running at 2 MHz. I/O and memory cards were also available.
