[sebhc] Thinking building USB for H-89 -- ?

[Barry Watzman]

How about a hard drive?  Think about it ... you can buy used 1 gigabyte
laptop hard drives for $1 to $5 (they are too small to be useful in a
laptop), and an external USB case for under $10.  We are talking about $11
to $15 for a hard drive for an H89 (or, presumably an H8 or an S-100 system,
since the host side should be easily adaptable to almost any 8080/Z-80 based
system).

What would you do with it? What sorts of USB devices would have any
meaning if connected to an H89 or H8?
