This Web page last updated Julu 29 2023. This page lists my various Heath and Zenith computer manuals and magazines of the 1970's and 80's. The bulk of them, are for the Z-100 series systems, many are H-8 or H-89. I have more information on those systems on other Web pages; links are below.
On this Web page:
If you are shopping for Z-100 or Z-120 or Z-110 software and hardware manuals and diskettes, please review this page carefully. (A few other Heath computer models are listed too). It will inform you about the kind of documentation and software available for those Heath/Zenith systems. The size and number of manuals, and numbers of products, are considerable.
These manuals are "large" 8.5 X 11-inch 3-ring binders or half-sized binders, some are in pairs per product. There may be two or three diskettes per product. The condition of decades-old diskettes and manuals will vary. As these are not high-demand items, I cannot keep track of every one of them; I may have more or some may not be available. They are not easily handled or assessed for value - they aren't give-aways. Shipping costs will be signifigant and depend on weight & size. Therefore: be patient when requesting quotes for these, and be selective. Thank you.
Page counts are approximate, weights are for shipping purposes. "Half-sized" means manuals are 8.5 inch by 5 inch weight may be 3 pounds. Otherwise manuals and binders are 8.5 by 11-inch pages, in 3-ring binders, typically weighing about 3-4 pounds each. Diskettes are 5.25-inch, there may be a few per product. Manuals and disks are believed to be complete and in the condition described. Original diskettes will be examined but are not guaranteed due to age; recent copies may be available. All these items are sold AS IS NO RETURN.
On another Web page, I have my general Heath and Zenith computer Web page, with links to all my other Heath and Zenith Web pages.
On my Heath-Zenith sales page, I offer a COPIED set of Z-100 operating system and diagnostic disks. Check there for details.
Please go to my Heath/Zenith computer home page for a list of links to all my other Heath/Zenith Web pages, and for descriptions of Heath computing products I have on my Web site, and for related Web links.
Ordering information and how to email @ me can be found in this notice.
On my Heath-Zenith sales page, I offer a COPIED set of Z-100 operating system and diagnostic diskettes. Check there for details. On this Web page, I'm offering ORIGINAL manuals, some with original disks. I likely can provide copies of disks, ask.
Here's a set of ZDOS 1.0 and 1.1 diskettes, five in all
Some of these have water staining, wrinkles on early pages.
Some binders need to be cleaned of mold stains. Most are in good shape.
Brown was the old color for the binders,
Later were white binders as I'll identify.

These are manuals for Zenith computers after the Z-110 and Z-120 "Z-100" or S-100 based systems. These are much like the IBM PC systems built in the same era. They are not of much interest in the 21st century: I get an inquiry every YEAR OR TWO. I can't keep these forever.
These are Zenith's early PC compatible systems. Here's a Web link to an example Z-148 system. They are IBM-PC like, not S-100 and not within my interests. In the 21st century, there appears to be very little "vintage" interest in them, they don't seem to sell for very much, tens of dollars. I only have a few manuals, the manuals are for sale as listed below.

I'm very fond of these systems, I used these some years ago and worked with a developer and manufacturer of H89 cards. I have a few of these systems, but haven't had time in the past to do much with them. Look for more H88 and H89 information on my general Heath and Zenith computer Web page.

Thanks to the generousity of a Boston area H-8 owner, I acquired an H-8 in 2005. Follow this link for details. Look for more H8 information on my general Heath and Zenith computer Web page.
Most of these Heathkit manuals are in good condition, ask for specifics. We'll price
these at $12 each plus shipping; I may negotiate lower for smaller manuals. I'll consider making copies of these manuals but the copies will still be several dollars each depending on page count. Note: I may have additional manuals with some instruments, check my
odds and ends page for details. Also look for more information on my general Heath and Zenith computer Web page.
