Hank is the name chosen for a hand-built MITS Altair 8800 from 1975 - assembled and programmed by Stan Hanks, PhD in his youth. Stan Hanks sadly passed away in October of 2026. Because he was a member of our family, I was gifted his Altair 8800 after his passing. I am now in the process of getting it ready for a full restoration - in Stan's honor.
