Heathkit Software Copyright Status

I have attempted to contact Heathkit to ask for the following permissions, in summary:

  • permission to use the H8 and Heathkit names and a few of their images on this web site;
  • permission to distribute the PAM/8 and HDOS ROMs as part of the basic emulator;
  • permission to distribute the HDOS binary images.

I have recently been in contact with Lori Marciniak, President and CEO of Heathkit Educational Systems, and my request is pending review.

Wish me luck!
