Brings back memories, I assembled a Heathkit H-89 computer. I didn't spring for the CPM O/S but rather the standard Hdos O/S that they bundled with it. Lost the computer when my house was robbed while on vacation, but the insurance claim payed and I replaced it with a Kaypro 10. the Kaypro had a 10meg hard drive and CPM O/S, what a tank of a computer. It had a handle, so they called it a portable but damn it weighed like 40 lbs....

I wonder if collecting vintage micropomputers will ever be as popular as collecting vintage Hi-Fi gear? Probably not but a few will I'm sure.
