From the project
What started as a Intel 8080 emulator turned into a Altair 8800 emulator with associated hardware for a front panel.

An updated version of this project is available at https://github.com/dankar/nanoaltair8800
The build for Arduino Uno is the most up to date. It should work to run "./build" and then "make && upload" in the arduino folder to compile and program.
