Well I've been messing with my H8 some... I did get a program to work that I entered into the keypad on the front. Now I would like to take the next step and see if some of the other stuff works... This machine has the H8-5 serial/ tape combo - I have the cable that connects the funny Molex connector to the terminal & have a nice terminal hooked to it. I also have in there what I believe to be the floppy controller - but I have no cables or drives. I am assuming that this machine must be "told" via the front panel to boot correct? If this is true - what do I need to get this thing up and running? Will this thing boot from tape? Is that the easiest option for starters? I am not having much luck locating information or parts online for this beast... Also I'm wondering if the floppy drives are just a standard old 360k drive & some sort of standard cabling that I might be able to round up? If so how hard will it be to find bootable media? Lots of questions! Thanks in advance Chris Lamrock
