[sebhc] HDOS sysgen questions (and problems)

Well, it's almost certain to be 4,800, 9,600 or 19,200 baud ... only 3
choices, so I'd attack this by trial and error.

Hello Dwight,

Yes, the H89 does an auto-baud detect, the first time it boots from
a newly formatted disk.  Then it patches itself and auto-starts at that
baud rate.

I can boot and run HDOS fine, but I don't know what the baud rate
settings are currently.

When I boot the CP/M disk I was sent, I get the 'wrong baud rate'
gibberish issue.

Not a UART socket issue, probably not a RAM issue either.  The
CP/M disk I received came from another H89, which is probably setup
differently than mine.
