Coincidentally, I just received a new Heathkit catalog yesterday.  They are
still listing the H-100 (the kit version of the Z-100), but it *does* sound
like they are selling them off.  The price for the basic machine has been
dropped from $1599 to $999 (with MS-DOS) ... might be a good time to get one
if you're handy with a soldering-iron!

They are still listing various accessories (hard-disk, extra floppy drive,
8087, RAM upgrade, etc.), including 2 the TWO different PC-compatibility
board-sets ($599 for either).  They give you 50% off on some of the
accessories if you buy them within 90-days of the H-100 (applies to the
PC-compatibility boards).

I have no connection with Heath or Zenith ... just passing along the
information.
