I have started a new project entitled Narcissus 12.0 which you can, of course, find right here on Hackaday.io,  Although I'm not currently doing anything new with the Altair as of right now, I do eventually want to be able to play "Global Thermonuclear War" in the classic WOPR-Wargames style on it - which will, of course, require some kind of chatbot that is ideally capable of running on 8080, i.e.,, maybe something that works like Eliza, on the one hand, but which also provides a front end to a CP/M like operating system, yet which offers more functionality - let's say - like Busy Box.

Now most of this might turn out to be quite easy to do if I would just simply get the Altair running in terminal mode, that is by burning some EPROMS with the stuff that I have so far, like the MIDI codes, and the PS/2 interface.  This is because I also have an 80x25, late 7'0s vintage video board that, while it needs some repairs, might be able to be made to work again.  Then maybe I could run the WHOPPER code, when I get it written, perhaps on a Raspberry Pi, or Propeller module, as previously discussed.  It is always best to try to push the 8080A original hardware to its absolute limits, of course.

So, yes. hopefully, I will be doing something with the Altair again, soon - but in the meantime, and on the software side of things, further development will be proceeding along the lines of my newest project, as stated at the beginning of this post.  Thanks for checking in!
