For many Altair owners out there, this guide may be the difference between owning a cool retro box with lights, and a usable Altair.
It's taken me quite a while to gather up this info and many people have helped in the process. This is especially good for those people, like me, who aren't hardware engineers.
So here it is, I've written a guide on my site on how to configure the Solid State Music IO4 to work as a MITS 88-2SIO serial board. The SSM IO4 will act exactly the same as the 88-2SIO without the need to modify any loaders or programs.

I'm also starting to compile some high-res pictures of the Altair and related S100 boards on my site. I've got a page for the SSM IO4 here.
