[sebhc] Hello to all H-8 Users!

[Collado, Norberto]

Ron,

	As soon I get to the system, I will let you know.

	I was just browsing the web and there is a simple Z80 to IDE
schematic using a PAL (Poll I/O) with the source code.

Norberto,

Would be interested in hearing what modifications were made to the OS to
accommodate the 10 Meg drive. Might be interesting to see the driver for
that device also.

Thanks,

Ron
