History
My first product, which I developed with my father when I was fifteen, was a printer driver which enabled the use of a Base2 Model 800 printer with a Heathkit H-89 running HDOS (Heath Disk Operating System, typically with 48K of RAM and a single 90K disk drive).
1982 — The Heathkit H-89
(with Maxwell 1200 modem and
dual drives on both hard and soft sector controllers)
In the mid-1980s, I expanded from printer drivers and sold hard disk systems (known as “Winchester” back then) which combined standard hardware components with custom engineering and software drivers.
1986 — The Heath/Zenith Z-100
(with Lindley Systems’ 10 Megabyte MEGADISK drive)
