Just a short, no-edit video showing the second H-89 I was able to get running again. This machine features a brand new H-37 floppy controller that will work with 3.5", DSDD disks. This version of the controller will allow you to use 3.5", 5.25, and 8" drives in your H-89. You can find the controller information here: http://koyado.com/Heathkit/H89-Z37.html - designed and produced by the amazing Norberto Collado! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS9Di3iVS-U

I wrote the graphing interface software using Delphi XE. It talks to the Arduino at 115200bps.
