Yes. These were the files I uploaded. The method is as follows:
Connect your PC COMM port 2 to the H8-5 serial port.
On the H8-5 board, change the switch from NORM to INTERCHANGE (this 
swaps the TAPE and SERIAL ports)
On my PC, I have a program (I'll be glad to get it to anyone who needs 
it) that I tell what I want to send to port 2.
Then just press the LOAD button on the H8, and it will read the data 
coming from the PC just exactly as if it were a tape.
Then return the switch from INTERCHANGE to NORM, have a tape recorder 
connected to the H8, and press the DUMP key. This writes the
image from the H8 to tape.
It's really quite simple.
I also have a PC program that emulates the Heath H19 terminal if anyone 
wants a copy of it.
