That Heathkit did until the ROM chip failed, now it isn't smart
enough to boot up.

My NorthStar Horizon is hard wired to boot from floppy disk 0,
track 0, side 0, sector 0.  It will try to load and run whatever
it finds there.  If there's no floppy disk in the drive it just sits
there, no error message, no nothing.
