I would like to install a disk drive into my H88. I would rather install the Soft-sectored double density floppy controller and the single sided floppy drive. My Heathkit friend insists that I have to first install the hard-sectored single-density controller. (Note, these are to be installed, so that my H88 becomes a H89) I am currently using their cassette operating system, which bytes (groan). I am thinking of switching to disk, but would like to get the most memory for my money. Also, I would appreciate any remarks about CP/M, HDOS, CP/NET, and TurboDOS. At the moment TurboDOS seems to be the best bet. One more thing: While reading my Byte, I came across this ad: H89/Z89 USER The M89 is an I/O expansion box for the H89/Z89 computer, please call or write us for more details. <photo of H89 and card cage(?)> MicroFlash Co. 4916 B Carol St. Skokie, Ill. 60077 (312) 677-4928 Has anyone heard of such a thing, or anything about it? Sounds good, especially since the H89 has *so* little room for expansion. If anyone knows anything about the above 3 questions, PLEASE reply. Your comments are *MOST* welcome. Thanks in advance, -Steve Hillson
