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!
