While I don't have experience with the Horizon, I think it is similar
(software-wise) to the Advantage (though the Advantage is NOT S100). I
have some software, some for CP/M and some for the NS-DOS. Note that the
floppy disks are hard sectored, impossible to find nowadays and just as
hard to read/write on anything else... (AFAIK - if someone has a program
to do this please speak up!)

Joachim (I usually sign "Joe" but I think that would cause confusion...)
