Well, FWIW, I'm just posting this from the Heath reflector if anybody's
interested.
Apparently, the fellow feels his work is worth something as I think the
prices are a bit high. He doesn't actually realize the value of these
things, so go easy on him. (I do not know him. I'm just a silly engineer
myself and probably can do as good of work ;)
Don't know exactly what he means by "detached keyboard" in the H89/H8
combo. I know one trick published years ago was to neatly cut off the
keyboard end of the H89 case, place nice looking covers over the openings
and run a suitable ribbon cable between.
