deramp5113
A demonstration of loading Altair 4K BASIC on an Altair 8800 clone, using a front-panel bootloader and an ASR-33 Teletype. It shows the full sequence of entering boot code, loading BASIC and running a program.
Cited as a great demo of how early microcomputers were actually booted and operated.
