Does a Northstar S-100 Bus Horizon Classify as a Classic

[Rod Smallwood]

Sure they were portable and I even have Wordstar for my Rainbow. 
It’s just a case of what would I run on my restored Horizon when it's
completed.

If anybody knows the location of the Horizon heavy bits (Case and
Transformer) in the UK and any shippable Horizon cards (excluding the
motherboard) anywhere I'd be interested.

CBASIC and Wordstar were both VERY portable.  Just about any CP/M machine
would satisfy THAT part of the nostalgia.


Is it still possible to get plywood of the right thickness to duplicate
the top of the Horizon?
