Hello all,

I just received the following in my email:

I'm trying to clean out my garage, and it's full of old computers. Do you have
any interest, or know of anyone in the bay area (I don't want to ship) who
might have an interest.

Two heath H89's, one which I believe was built from spare parts. I don't believe either
one is working right now. The "real" one has a graphics board and floating point
chip in it. I have numerous disk drives and external enclosures. CPM and HDOS
software, although I have no idea if the disks are still readable.

Documentation as well.

Numerous Z100 computers, two with internal monitors. Some have hard drives.
One external monitor for the Z100. I don't know the condition - they have for the most
part been in the garage for a long time.

Software and documentation.

[…]

An old Altos system with two 8 inch disks.

If you are in the SF Bay Area (or are able to get here) and are a collector who wants to use the adopted equipment please feel free to contact me and I’ll put you in touch. The current owner is more interested in space than money so the items will be cheap to free for those who will put them to good use.

All the best!
 
Zenith Z89

Zenith Z89

Hi, I found this thread during a google search. Are these still available?

I need a Zenith Data Systems Z89, are the Heath versions the same?

I'm in Hollister, about an hour south of San Jose.

Please let me know,

Thanks,

John

To the best of my knowledge, yes.

Except for the badge, yes. ;)

Perfect range, IMO. I'll PM you the appropriate email address and info.
 
As a general rule, H/Z marketed the Heathkits in kit form, and the Zeniths came fully assembled, however, they usually offered thier 'kits' in assembled form, for a price.

Hi Erik,

What Altos system is it, and do you have manuals or software with it?
