A former member of my computer club went to work for Zenith Data Systems.
He brought down a 100 and a 150 for a club meeting last Wednesday. 
        The 150 is an IBM compatible with detachable keyboard.
It looks like they did the IBM clone right. Impressive.  We were told
that they are shipping right now.  Some of the club members tried different
IBM software without any problems.  We were told that most hardware made
for the IBM would fit in the slots.  They have also solved the flicker problem.
I was interested in graphics demo on the 100 so didnt follow through with
the 150 except to note they have an interesting debugger in their monitor.
Someone else will have to provide the details.
