Do you have a complete H-8 (or several)? By complete, I mean chassis & CPU,
reasonable memory, disk controller, serial I/O card and the "CP/M Card" (a
tiny small card, only about 3 inches wide, that allows the computer to run
CP/M ... I think that the original name was "extended configuration card" or
something like that).
I got two H8's and one dual disk drive box. There are two CPU cards, three
serial/cassette cards, a parallel I/O card, one disk controller card, four 16K memory
cards, and about 50 floppies full of software. Nothing that looks like the CP/M cards
though.
Also, an H19 terminal and H89 computer plus the Selectric.
I got the H19 working and am currently bringing up the H8 power supplies. The Selectric is
going to be the hardest to
restore though.
