Well, this is it.  I just heard from a mail-order place that specializes
in Zenith computers that Zenith is discontinuing the memory boards for
the old 16MHz Z-386 line.  Can anyone confirm that this is true?
I've been calling around, and only one place said they could get them
(a Heathkit store) but they claimed a list of $3000 for 4MB.

Up until now, I've been a Heath/Zenith fan.  When I'd see messages going
by flaming Zenith, I've thought, "Gee, an isolated incident."

I'm rethinking.  I've heard too many complaints lately, and when I look at
a few things that happened to me, I see a pattern emerging: Zenith doesn't
care about its small customers.  If you're not the Air Force, forget it.
Dropping memory support for a relatively recent computer model just tops
it.  Hey, I can get memory for a near-antique IBM PC-XT!!  Phooey.
