Heathkit H89 Survival Guide

H89 Survival Guide

This is a work-in-progress collection of notes I've been making as I'm exploring the Heathkit H89.

When you turn on your machine it will beep twice: Once for the main motherboard and once for the terminal board.

Before you boot a disk, you'll see the H: "monitor" prompt. To run a memory test from the monitor, use G 7375. To boot a disk, type B and hit RETURN.

If a program hangs and ^C (Ctrl plus C) doesn't help, try pressing right Shift plus Reset.

Extract cookies.sqlite to cookies.txt for use in wget or curl.
#!/bin/bash -e
# extract_cookies.sh:
#
# Convert from Firefox's cookies.sqlite format to Netscape cookies,
# which can then be used by wget and curl. (Why don't wget and curl
# just use libsqlite if it's installed?)
# USAGE:
#
# $ extract_cookies.sh > /tmp/cookies.txt
