I thought HUG offered it.

No, I never owned an H8.  Part of the drive behind PAM8AT was
to run in the Heath Employees Amateur (radio) Repeater, where
it needed to boot with the front panel out of reach.

AuTomatic.  My first hack was PAM8GO which simply loaded the
correct start address so it only took one button press to boot.
I didn't realize it was ever made public.
