I've just come across a new vintage system.
I've been given a Heathkit H-89 computer with some documentation and one
bootable diskette.
Its booting HDOS, but I don't have any HDOS specific documentation, just the
'Operation' and
assembly manuals (the 'Operation' manual is really theory of operation
material).
Does anyone have the ability to make a set of 'distribution' HDOS disks
(100K floppy)?
Is CP/M also available, or the Heathkit diagnostics disk?
I've not been able to find much HDOS documentation on-line, does anyone have
pointers?
CP/M was available. One thing, which disk controller does it have? If
memory serves there were several different ones between heath and aftermarket.
