There is an ePay seller
(
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=info_at_
dynacompsoftware.com) who often has auctions for NorthStar software on
10 sector 5.25s.
One current auction is:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=182&item=36019127
30
Even if you just want the media the price (starting at $10 for 20 disks
w/software) isn't bad.

Subject: Re: H89 CP/M hard-secored boot diskette
According to my H89 manual, it takes 10 sector disks. I have had my H89
for a while, but I haven't been able to locate any software for it yet.
I bought it at a hamfest and the person that sold it to me claims to
have
the software and that they will send it to me, but I'm not holding my
breath...
