UCSD P-System with Pascal, Version II
Heath Company offered a version of the UCSD P-System operating system for their both their 8-bit computers and the 16-bit H11. Thanks to the generosity of one of the SEBHC members, I received the 5.25" disks and manuals. And through E-Bay, I was able to get the H11 version, that one didn't include the Users Manual, but did include the special instructions for the H11.

Software
It seems that Heath did not provide this software with the typical black binders. I now have multiple copies, and they all are like this. I have also never seen anything different on ebay.
H17 Hard-sectored disk images (H8D)
I received this from another member of the SEBHC group and have imaged the disks in the H8D format.

Soft-Sectored disk images (TD0)
These files are from Don Maslin's famous archive. I have not tried these images, since I do not have a way to create floppies from TD0 files, but I am working on adding soft-sectored disk support to my emulator, and would then try to use it with that.
