[sebhc] HDOS sysgen questions (and problems)

Happy New Year,

Getting back to old computers once again, I tested the disk Mark kindly
sent.  The machine 'seems' to boot, but I get gibberish on the console.

Typing seems to echo gibberish, sure looks like a baud rate issue to me.

I don't have much documentation, and what I have is not what I expect
from Heath.  So how do I figure out what baud rate my H19-part and
my H89-part are speaking to one another?

What baud rate is the CP/M disk image expecting?

Just how easy is it to 'jumper' the H89-part to something other than the
H19-part?  It would be really cool if you could do that from outside the
case.
