Heathkit H11

The Heathkit H11 Computer is an early kit-format personal computer introduced in 1978. It is essentially a Digital EquipmentPDP-11 in a small-form-factor case, designed by Heathkit. The H11 is one of the first 16-bitpersonal computers, at a list price of US$1,295, (equivalent to $6,392 in 2025) but it also requires at least a computer terminal and some form of storage to make it useful. It was too expensive for most Heathkit customers, and was discontinued in 1982.
