Jeff: suggest you join the SEBHC list. we're a very active group supporting the H8 and H89. Lots of expertise there including former employees of Heath and the supporting vendor community. https://groups.google.com/g/sebhc strong signal to noise ratio on the list. We have an extensive library of disk images but it's always worth archiving more. Come to that list or contact me off the VCF list for more details on how to capture the images you have and/or resources and pointers to get your '89 humming. - Glenn

A friend just gave me his old Heathkit H89 system, along with a library of about 150 hard sectored disks (that need tested). CP/M, HDOS, utilities, and games are part of the collection.
I know it's not an SD solution for the H89 in the museum, but if we don't have a quality selection of software in the museum for it, we can probably build a collection of disks for use from what I have on hand.
I have to fix my H89 before I can test the disks I have. Otherwise, perhaps I can use the museum H89 for testing the floppies, and hoping to get something cool running on the museum H89.

We have already had some people donate SD card solutions to the museum which makes doing demos much easier.
I'm looking for people to donate an SD card solution for the machines in the museum.
This list of machines that need them are here:

Let me know if you want to donate any of these or if you have any questions.
Thanks!
