Interesting enough, I had a brochure (Heath/Zenith) for the HS-37 sitting
right here beside the computer. I don't know if that is the same as the
H-37,but the specs on this are:

Recording Double Sided
Tracks per Inch 96
Tracks per Diskette 160
RPM 300
Capacity (Unformated) 1 MB

A Z-89-37 controller board is required to use these drives. The pictorials
showing the hookup show an "All-In-One Computer" which looks a lot like the
H-89.
