If you are looking to make use of your Z100, then note:

HUG did have a software PC emulator that ran several IBM PC
programs very well.  I think that is the ZPC you are looking for.
There are some hardware emulators, but I wouldnt spend the money
unless it cost $50 or less, used from one of the other readers of 
this newsgroup.

A good software package that had a good wordprocessor, a spreadsheet,
and a reasonable database was PeachText which was available from
PeachTree software  in Georgia (still in business) and not copy protected,
if you cant buy it, you just select Z100 when you install it.

I believe that Wordperfect 4.0 is still available, maybe some of those
other perfect's fit the Z100?

My Z100 is still running at my friend's house with a 40meg and 2meg'o ram.

Good luck
-dave
