I got started with personal equipment with a H89. Dual Z80 processors - 
whee! Between 16K and 64K RAM, and either casset tape or 100K disks for 
storage. Ran either HDOS (Heath DOS with loadable drivers) or CP/M. I 
think that you could also get MP/M which was a multiuser version of CP/M, 
but that was a _long_ time ago.

Heath did manage to get a 5 meg hard disk out for it at one point - thing 
was huge and expensive.

Memories. Rather liked that machine.
