While I don't have experience with the Horizon, I think it is similar
(software-wise) to the Advantage (though the Advantage is NOT S100). I
have some software, some for CP/M and some for the NS-DOS. Note that the
floppy disks are hard sectored, impossible to find nowadays and just as
hard to read/write on anything else... (AFAIK - if someone has a program
to do this please speak up!)
Joachim (I usually sign "Joe" but I think that would cause confusion...)
Joe,
I don't know if software is available but will ask. Does the NS
horizon use a S-100 bus? I was told the unit I'm (hopefully) about to
acquire has an internal 10MB hard drive. i'm going to go eyeball the
unit within the next few days.

Marty,
I have some manuals for the NS Horizon; disk controller, DOS,
BASIC,
Pascal. I'm looking for the software.

acquiring one of these soon but don't know
much about it except
that
it has wooden side panels and used to support a
half-dozen
terminals.
Is it a S-100 bus?
Thanks for any help-
