[sebhc] H8 has arrived, and works, woo hoo!

[Reed H. Petty]

Thanks to all on the list.  I have received a warm welcome and
very much appreciate the tips and links to documentation, etc.

The H8 that I purchased arrived today.  After some assembly work
and a bit of head scratching I was able to get it to power up,
the panel to respond, and the diagnostic test routine keyed in.
I was elated (understatement) to see "Your H8 is up and running"!

The machine is humble, with only the processor, 8k of static ram,
and the serial I/O card, and a AT style power supply, but it is
a beginning!

Thanks again.

Reed,
