Heath - Zenith computers, docs, items for sale

This Web page last updated date June 08 2009.

This Web page is PRIMARILY about the Z-110 and Z-120 S-100 Heathkit or Heath - Zenith computers built and sold in the 1980's. But I also have information and manuals for the H89 and H8 computer products from Heathkit. Details below. Details on the Z-100 system and its history are on another page. Regarding recent "Heath/Zenith" brand products in 2003 and later, I have some information via this link. There is not much here about later Zenith computers that run only MS-DOS or Windows: try a Web search to find more information on those.

This Web page has some info about and items for HeathKit and Heath - Zenith Z-100 series computers, which were built and sold in the 1980's. The Z-110 model pictured on the left is generally called the low profile model, without an internal CRT monitor; the Z-120 or "all-in-one" model had a internal monochrome CRT monitor (which many updated to color). Brief specifications of the Z-100 series is: a S-100 or IEEE-696 standard motherboard backplane but with on-board dual processor (8088 and 8085) and memory (256K or 768Kbytes), and "daughterboard" video (32K or 64K of RGB color or monochrome). S-100 cards from Heath included a floppy disk controller, additional memory, a hard drive controller, 4-port serial card. Many other S-100 companies offered add on cards. These systems were bought by the US military for training, and a number of universities bought them or required them for students. These are very reliable and rugged systems; many are still in use to this day (2003), and some still appear at military surplus auctions.
