LF H8 software - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

 Hi Dave
 When you guys get this code on CD, let me know as well.
I've been planning on getting my H8 up and running. I've
already written code to transfer disk image data from the
H89 to a PC and back. It shouldn't take much to adapt it
to work for cassette or even just a memory block.
 I have a H27 that I've not tested yet, being that I've not
powered up the H8 yet. On the H89, I just used the line
printer port, since it used a straight cable to a PC
serial port. The code is bootstrapped from about 50
bytes that are entered from the monitor.

Hi Dwight,

I'll keep you and everyone else who has responded informed on whatever
material I am able to collect.

Btw, I've got scads of 8080 software that I wrote for my Altair which
could be easily ported to the H8 if anyone is interested - Including my
own disk operating system, BASIC interpreter and even a C compiler -
The OS was originally run on a NorthStar 10 sector hard sectored disk
system which is probably not that different from the Heathkit one.

I don't have a disk system for my H8 :-( .. if anyone knows of one or
comes across one, I'd like to hear about it.

Regards,
