Akhir-akhir ini aku masih dibanjiri euforia rindu Menjelma sebagai topik utama kehidupanku yang melantang tiap waktu Ia selalu datang seperti hujan Tak peduli harus jatuh berjutaan kali Abai dari rengkuhan teriknya mentari bumi Dari kelamnya awan mendung Dia rindu.. adalah seperti hujan Membuatmu bergegas pulang Dia rindu ..adalah seperti hujan Yang selalu bisa menahanmu beranjak Dia rindu..adalah seperti hujan yang selalu hadir membanjirimu kenangan Dan hei.. jangan lupa memakai payung ^^ -SDH- #H19 #30dayswritingchallenge @xyouthgen https://www.instagram.com/p/CHT69N6BZo0/?igshid=d86bid1o4vy4

Heathkit H9, H19, H8, and H89

Here’s all the stuff I brought back from Vintage Computer Festival Midwest!

Two Heathkit H19/H89 terminal logic boards, a VR64 sticker, name tag, and commemorative punch card!

The left board is an earlier revision, complete with a ceramic & gold MC6845 CRTC!  How beautiful is that?  I’m digging up the information on this board revision as we speak.

Heathkit H8 & H89

Alex Bodnar is a fellow H89 geek, and the one area he likes to play is with floppy disks.  Name a floppy tape for the H8 or H89, and he can write to it.  Soft sector, or Hard sector?  Single Side or Double Side? Single Density or Double Density?

I dig that Wintek Branded H19 with the amber picture tube, which was how he interfaced with the H8.

Huh.  So my Hero Jr. does have a working serial connection.  I thought it was toast... maybe I tested incorrectly back when I was diagnosing issues with it.

It doesn’t seem to want to correctly display characters on my Libretto 70CT.  9600 7-E-1 just spits out garbage on screen, even when I try a variety of ASCII modes.   So I opened up the H89, bypassed the CPU board, and sure enough, I got the Wintek BASIC prompt.

During Hero Jr’s diagnostics, the drive motor spun, but didn’t pass the startup test.  I knew the front wheel encoder wasn’t entirely working, but I didn’t think that was the sole method of testing the drive system.  So I think Hero Jr. is probably at 95% functionality now.  I would call that progress!
