I'll have to check the machine tomorrow. I did
look at the media, its a
standard 5.25 inch floppy with a single index hole. I'd expected a
hard-sectored
diskette, but that's not what its booting from.
I show several formats for the H89/Z89. SS, DS 512x9x1x40 512x9x2x40 and 2
512x9x80--but the first 96 tpi one is odd--it uses only the first 40
cylinders! Probably 48 tpi software running with 96 tpi drives. If no one
can come up with a clean CP/M system disk, I've got some H89 sample system
disks in my files of uncertain vintage.
