[sebhc] Z-100 software

[Barry Watzman]

A very large percentage of the Z-100 documentation has been scanned (by me,
mostly) and is available online at the Harte site 

http://www.hartetechnologies.com/manuals/

[Note that he has run into a server space limitation and has had to remove
some manuals, including some Heath manuals.  They are still available, but
are not online]

I have a DVD that I sell for $35 (which includes US Domestic shipping) that
has thousands and thousands of files on it, including more than is available
on the entire Harte site.  It also includes software as well as scanned
manuals.  It's actually mostly oriented to non-H/Z stuff (Altair, Imsai,
Cromemco, Godbout(Compupro), Radio Shack, SWTPC, Commodore, SSM, Vector
Graphics, SCP, etc.  If you are into "classic computers", it's very
worthwhile.  It has more stuff, and better quality, than the Dynacomp CDs
being sold on E-Bay for $10 each, and it's cheaper.  All of my Heath Zenith
stuff is on this DVD, but the H/Z stuff is a tiny portion of it.

I will scan loose-leaf manuals that I do not have, I can do this fairly
easily as I have a high-end scanner with a document feeder that can do about
200+ pages per hour unattended.  However, bound manuals are very difficult
and time consuming.  A few people have been willing to destroy a bound
manual to make it "loose leaf" for scanning.  In fact, I did this with one
of my own MP/M-86 Digital Research software manuals.

Adding a Z100 section to the archives sounds like a fine idea to me.  But 
then, folks might think I'm prejudiced by having been part of the Z100 
design team.  :-)

However, I do think the H8, etc, should get priority in scanning, etc.  
Which reminds me .. any chance of getting the entire HOS-1-SL scanned (and 
maybe OCR'd, too) anytime soon?  Anyone got any more HDOS disks loaded?

Cheers,

P.S.  I've been having trouble using my fantasy 204 track disk on the 
emulator - but the 160 track one seems to be OK.  I suspect the unusual 
configuration my be tripping some unintentional limits in HDOS (I expect the

emulator doesn't care).  Anyway, I have to recommend against using the 204 
track one, at least for now.
