 This early computer was to be used with a terminal for better control.

Lots of expansion boards were available for this computer. Memory boards were available in 4K, 8K, and 16K (note: 4K memory board was 8K half populated.)

The H8 was sold with software: Benton Harbor BASIC, the HASL-8 2-pass assembler, TED-8 Line oriented text editor and BUG-8 terminal console debugger.
