They were somewhat software compatable in that the both ran 8080 based
software. The H89 was z80, the H8 was 8080, they had differenet IO port
and memory maps. Both had different disk formats.
CPM for both could be the same in the sense that the CCP and BDOS were
always the same... The bios however was likely very different as that
is the part that interacts with the IO and disks.
