Heathkit/Zenith Gotek Single Mount
This is a 3D printed mount and faceplate for putting TWO Gotek drive emulators into a Heathkit/Zenith CP/M computer (ex: Z89/H89) with twin half-height vertically mounted drives. This mount is designed for a Flashfloppy or HxC Gotek with OLED screen and rotary encoder. NOTE: this is a half-height drive mount, so you will have to replace the original full height drive in an H89/Z89 with a half height drive to fill out the space.
The Gotek can be used with either an H17 or H37 controller. The H17 (hard sector) controller is best with the HxC firmware on a Gotek.
Optionally, you can order this with preconfigured Gotek drives already installed. This includes a flash drive with common games, operating systems and applications for the Heathkit/Zenith Z80 computers (HDOS and CP/M).
If you prefer to print the mount yourself, as a service to the vintage computing community, we offer the STL files for free here:
Print settings are pretty generic. You may have to use a skirt to promote bed adhesion and avoid warping since the faceplate is large and flat. Print with the faceplate down. PLA or PETG are the recommended materials for this mount. Use supports for the two overhangs where the OLED screen slides in behind the faceplate, and for the two pins near the back that the Gotek clips into.

All of our systems are graded based on cosmetic condition, relative to how they came from the factory. Pluses and minuses may be assigned when a system is slightly better or slightly worse than the three grades we offer.
The grades are as follows:
Grade 1: System is as new, with no more than one or two minor blemishes in places not visible when placed in the traditional position a desk. Yellowing must be non-existent or barely observable. Cases have no cracks, no nicks, and no deep scratches. All chips are original or OEM replacements. System will be fully operational. For software, all manuals and disks are present and the case has very little sign of age, wear, or use.
Grade 2: System is very presentable, with few blemishes in areas visible when placed in the traditional position a desk. There may be some level of yellowing but not to the extreme. Cases have no cracks. Cases may have some minor scuffs or light scratches in visible areas. Cases may have nicks or dents in places not apparent when looking at the unit from the traditional operating position. White keys may have some yellowing. Chips may be original, OEM replacements, or third-party reproductions (ex: ArmSID or SwinSID replacements for SID chips). System will perform all key functions normally, except where third party reproduction chips may alter functionality slightly (for example replacement SID chips may sound slightly different than original chips). For software, check the item description to determine if manuals and disks are included. The packaging will be very nice, with some signs of age (rubbed spots, slight creases or tears, some fading).
Grade 3: System may have cracks on the case, significant blemishes in visible areas, missing trim pieces that do not affect proper operation, or significant yellowing. White keys are probably fairly yellow. These systems are discounted significantly and intended for people who want a system but don't care that it doesn't look great on a desk, or would like to do a more extreme restoration on their own (ex: painting cases). Chips may be original, OEM replacements, or third-party reproductions (ex: ArmSID or SwinSID replacements for SID chips). System will be fully operational, except where third party reproduction chips may alter functionality slightly. For software, check the item description to determine if manuals and disks are included. The packaging will have significant signs of age or abuse (many rubbed spots, creases, tears, or heavy fading).
NOTE: If you order a Condition 3 unit, please keep an eye out for an email from us confirming that you intended to do that. We won't ship until you confirm you wanted a Condition 3 and it wasn't just a mistake of picking the lowest cost option in the store! Hope you understand.
Ungraded: Non-working parts machines, non-working components, or items that obviously can't be graded (such as cables or disks).
