Altair 8800 computer simulator

This is the start of a computer simulator based on one of the first home computers available. The original was available in 1975, and had a whooping 256 Bytes of Ram. Yes you read that right. Anyway, this ALPHA project is just the front panel; I haven't coded the CPU yet. That is going to be a lot of work, and the project will grow in size ... maybe it will be too big for Scratch?

Anyway, here is the project:

Please read the project notes carefully before trying to use this program, unless you already know how to use one of these old computers.

here is the inspiration for the project (or part of):
