overview - Software Overview and Storage

There is a bit of software included with this collection as detailed on this page.

IMPORTANT - this software is 40+ years old and I haven't loaded each and every disk. In fact, I can't remember which ones I've loaded or not (except those shown in the DEMO tab). All software is therefore delivered as is.

The 5¼ diskettes were always kept dry and away from crazy magnetic fields. The "important" ones are kept in the same type of storage box as for the BOARDS which attempts to stop them from being close to those magnetic fields.

hdos - HDOS

Three HDOS disks that all work, along with the HDOS documentation. Included is also the programmer's guide.

basic - Microsoft BASIC-80

Good old BASIC for CP/M. Works great. Along with extensive manual.

cpm - CP/M OS for the H8/H89

This is a four-diskette distribution for running CP/M on the H8. All disks appear to be in great shape. See the final demo to see these disks in action.

Along with this collection is a bunch of disks from my various work with the system, along with disks from the previous owner of the system. There's about 15 of them (need to do a count). No guarantees about anything on these disks!
