BA->Mine uses a 5.25" floppy.  It's hard wired to boot from the
floppy and nothing
BA->else.
BA->Once CP/M is awake it switches to the C: drive - a big, heavy
5.25" hard drive
BA->that has a capacity of a whoppping five megabytes.
    Hard or soft sectored?  If soft, LUCKY!  You don't know how hard it
is to find a hard sectored floppy these days!  Not to mention, being
able to write to the darn thing using a modern computer to transfer
software!  You have to result to getting a serial connection to the
modern computer, then trying to find a terminal program and a boot disk
on the cp/m, which when all you have is 1 cp/m and a modern computer,
making a cp/m hard sectored disk is not an option...

BA->I also have three Heath H-89s, two of which I built, and an H-67 HD
for one of
BA->them.
BA->The H-67 has a footprint of an original IBM PC, is about 8.5" high
and weighs 110
BA->pounds - *ten* megabytes. Price new was $5,999.99,
I gut mine used - with
BA->controller -
BA->for $150 = probably 25 years ago now.

Wow, I once got my hands on a 10mb Hard drive some where, was about 4
inches high and 5 1/4" wide... MFM.  I was told it took like 5-10
minutes to warm up before you could use it or format it....  Imagine if
you could go back in time when folks used full-heighth hard drives and
bring a laptop hard drive to them with an IDE controller card, and tell
them... Your 10mb hard drive died, I'll just hook up this 200gb hard
drive with 20 million times more space in far less size hard drive...
Not to mention, the speed would blow their mind!
