The Army is buying more than $50 million worth of Z100s, so I don't
think they're going to stop building or supporting them soon. Z100s
are also nice for process control since they have an s100 bus. The new
PC compatible machines are probably aimed at the business market, not
the hobbyist, industrial, and military markets that the Z100 occupies.

As far as I know, Zenith has no separate personal computer R&D setup
apart from Heath. Zenith concentrates on color and monochrome monitors
and other analog electronics like network modems.

Cheers,
