I have the Mix C compiler, and while the manual looks VERY good, I
have yet to get my machine to read the fool disks!  I have a Heath
H 89 with 40 track ds disks, and that is the format I ordered from Mix,
and the format that Mix says it sent me.  However, I can't read the
disks on the 40 track drives, nor on a recently-purchased 80 track
drive.  However, I HAVE successfully read the disks on a neighbor's
H 89 with 80 track drives.  The disks, as it turns out, are indeed
recorded in the Heath 40 track format.  As yet, I still have not been
able to get the fool things read on my machine!  The problem is driving
me up a wall.

As to the compiler itself, several of the folks at the Baltimore Heath
Users Group think quite highly of the compiler.  One caveat about the
manual:  The type style used in the manual doesn't distinguish between
the number 1 and a lowercase letter l.  This has caused some confusion.
