Obviously it's not that clear on the montagar site. Try montagar.com.

Cool Gene. I have an old Heathkit catalog that lists the H-89. If you
like, I'll scan it and you can add it to your website.

In a word I was there and did it. Oh, yeah... been there did that too.
Seriously, back then them boxes were not cheap and 8k of ram was
$199 there were a lot of creative hacks and tweeks to make do,
make good or make hot.

Picked up a Chromatics 8" floppy disk drive yesterday for $1.95.
Model FD-1000 ser# 001053
Comes in a big, brown aluminum case with a couple of DB style connectors on
the back. Any idea to which type of hardware this drive is peripheral? Was it
worth the haul?

Well I use interbase under NT at work to provide SQL services for
databases
that the user can query. SQL is the database, it is RDB. SQL also
stands
for structured query language.
Datasource: Web SQL
Username: sa
Template: query.htx
SQLStatement:
SELECT FirstName, LastName
FROM Guests
WHERE FirstName like '%FirstName%'
and LastName like '%LastName%'
Whats cute about this is the answer can be served out as html pages.

OK, according to "Technical Aspects of Data Communication," John McNamara,
Copyright 1977 by Digital Equipment Corporation, these are speeds for
asynchronous communications (doesn't seem to have a sync table):
Five bit:
45.45
50
56.86
74.2
75
91
Six bit:
45.45
48
49.1
55.21
56.75
56.86
60.6
66.67
69.25
74.2
80
135
Seven bit:
45.45
56.75
61.35
67.34
74.2
75
76.92
100
134.5 <- IBM 1050, 2740, 2741 std. speed (selectric-based terms)
600
Eight bit:
45.45
56.75
67.58
73.33
74.07
74.1
74.2
84.61
100
110
135
150
165 Model 37 TTY for Western Union
then 300 up to 9600
For stop bits, the book lists 1, 1.42, 1.5, and 2. The difference stop bits
are what make for such weird numbers, though some modems have even more
bizzare rates, such as 200 (top speed of British Post Office Datel 200
service), and 1800 (top speed of Bell 20-type modems).

I just read your question about looking for software , spec CDOS, for the
cosmac. Well I own a cosmac since 1983
but it's standing in the corner for a long time now. I have to gear up the
poor thing and see if I can make a copy of the old
floppy's. There are also a set of different cosmac cards and the cosmac ICE
in a separate suitcase even all documentation and schematics are complete as
far as I know. If I can help or If anyone wants to buy the whole system.
Send me a proposal.
