| For those who asked, I first tried EMS with an Amnesia board. It would
| not run @ 8 mhz, but would at 4.7. After 2 or three boards went back
| and forth, I got a designer at Xebec who said:
| 	Z-158? Forget it!
| and went on to explain its bus timing problems.  After that, I called
| other suppliers before sending money. They all gave me the same answer,
| as did Intel when I asked about an Above Board.


There are (or at least were) suppliers of EMS boards that worked happily
with the Z-158.  I got a "RAMPartner" from PC Technologies in Ann Arbor
that works great.  I love the board.  Unfortunately the company has dropped
from sight (sigh).
