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?
Come on by and visit us at www.sebhc.org , a site dedicated to the
Heathkit 8-bit computers (mostly H8 and H89, but the 680x trainers as
well). We have extensive online archives with docs and software. Also,
be sure to take a look at Eric Rothfus' SVD ( www.thesvd.com/SVD ) which
includes HDOS and CP/M boot images ready to plug and ply on the H89.
