Material List

A replica of the WH17 Disk Controller from Heath. Modified to allow easy configuration for ORG0 and non-ORG0 systems as well as adding some diagnostic LEDs. Also note that there is an accompanying 1K adapter card that will convert the signals from the memory socket to a pair of 2114s as the original card had. This is for better compatibility with non-ORG0 systems.

H8-8-8


A smaller more compact version of the HA8-8 Extended Configuration card from Heath. This card inserts facing forward as opposed to the original which faced toward the back. This card along with the accompanying ROM (Part #444-70) converts an H8 computer to an ORG0 system. The ROM is supplied on a 2732 EEPROM which means you will need to configure your CPU card accordingly.
