Update #1: Altair Computer, http://americanhistory.si.edu/csr/comphist/objects/altair.htm, page 49, broken link. Searched for information about the Altair 8800 on the American History website and found this address, http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object.cfm?key=35&objkey=29.
Update #2: Computer History Web Sites, http://irb.cs.tu-berlin.de/~zuse/history/, page 50; To make link more user friendly, would recommend providing this link instead, http://irb.cs.tu-berlin.de/~zuse/history/HNF-PNN.PDF or http://irb.cs.tu-berlin.de/~zuse/history/ibm4381.htm. Non-academics or those that are not computer savvy, may find the list of links frustrating and may interpret this as a broken link.
