If you ever try to sell that Nova on ebay, include a copy of Tracy Kidder's "Soul of the New Machine"
to make sure they get the connection.? Should increase the bid price by 10x or so.
On my first job out of college they made the same leap of faith in MMI,
basing their boards on them new fangled PAL thingies.

Never programmed an Altair but I spent plenty of time programming PDP-11s by toggling the switches on the front panel and I have a Data General Nova in the basement that may or may not still be in working condition (real core memory too) which is programmed that way as well.
