Message-ID: <1391@mit-eddie.UUCP> Date: Sun, 4-Mar-84 19:19:49 EST Article-I.D.: mit-eddi.1391 Posted: Sun Mar 4 19:19:49 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 5-Mar-84 04:09:45 EST References: <729@ihuxq.UUCP> Organization: MIT, Cambridge, MA Lines: 12 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.
