[sebhc] PCWorld article mention of the H-89.

[bill malcolm]

I think the apple ][ or  tandy II are both better as they  could run
anything the h-89 could. I did like the heath printer (kit that I built) I
used it on my apple ][+ and tandy models  1,3,4,II,16,6000.

heck some tandy models could run 2 different OS's  concurrently. That would
be the  Model  4, Coco and 16.

Just my thoughts.
