Offered here is a Heathkit H8 Digital Computer with AC power supply, CPU board, 16K Static RAM, Multi-port Serial IO board, and Controller Board.
It came from an engineer's estate.
It is in nice original condition
Using a Variac I brought up the AC power to this computer slowly and it seems to powers up, the PWR and RUN LEDs on the front panel light up.
Also included is an original "Model WH8 DIGITAL COMPUTER OPERATION/SERVICE MANUAL" full of schematics, ...assembly information, and operating instructions.
From Wikipedia:
"Heathkit's H8 is an Intel 8080-based microcomputer sold in kit form starting in 1977. The H8 was similar to the S-100 bus computers of the era, and like those machines was often used with the CP/M operating system on floppy disk. The main difference between the H8 and S-100 machines was the bus; the H8 used a 50-pin bus design that was smaller, more robust and better engineered electrically. The machine also included a bootstrap ROM that made it easier to start up, including code for running basic input/output and allowing input through a front-mounted octal keypad and front panel display instead of the binary switches and lights used on machines like the Altair 8800. The H8 was a successful design..."
This vintage computer is used and sold "As Is" without any warranty or guarantee.
Recommended shipping within the U.S. (CONUS) is via Fedex Ground or Home Delivery, and International shipping via eBay's Global Shipping Program.

Thank you for looking, and bidding!
