(Re: experience with Zeos equipment)

I have been using a Zeos 286-12 since somewhere around April of 1988.
I have had absolutely no trouble with the hard drive and no internal hardware
failures.  My monitor has also lived a trouble-free life thus far.

On the other side of the coin, I have had the keyboard replaced (my
conjecture is that its processor was somehow fried by static electricity).
I also experienced head alignment problems in both my 1.2 MB and 360 KB
drives.  To be honest, this may well have been my fault--I forgot to place
anything in the drives to protect the heads while the unit was following me 
from Illinois to Texas!  Zeos was, in my opinion, very kind to include this
replacement under the warranty.

My only outstanding complaint is that my system clock is SLOOOW!  I have no
accurate estimates, but it probably loses somewhere around 5 minutes in a
month!  I would like this to be fixed, but I can't afford to send the
computer in for work.

As for compatibility, I have not yet run into any problems unattributable to
any of my small army of TSRs.  If something won't run, I usually look there
first.
