 I've been trying to get docs on early H/Z s. There doesn't seem to be a
hellova lot out there. The Z100 newsgroup is pretty vacant and is mostly
porn and spam. There's the Simtel files at Oakland in pub/z100 and a
Heathkit page but it's more on H's various hobby kits than on the computers.
 I still can't figure out if the z100 was a whole different line (with a S-100
Bus ?) than my ZFA with the passive backplane and the pop-up fdds or not.
 The disdain of the true-blue z100-ers for the PC ones seems as great as the
UNIX-PC divide if my search on Dejanews is any indication.
What models were these docs for and can you clear up my confusion ?
