ZDS could barely GIVE the ZP-150 away.  I have little info on it,
but what I heard it is an unloved dog with a barely readable screen.
ZDS gave about 12 away at HUGCON and the people all but said 'Oh, gee,
thanx...'   I assume you can still order Painter's Apprentice from Heath
(Russ?), if not, Russ Nelson may be able to do something about making
it available somehow.   Due to lack of driver support, ONLY buy the
MicroSoft serial mouse for the Z-100.   MS-Windows contains built in
support for it only.  Painter's Apprentice contains a MS mouse driver.
I only know of a Z-100 driver (Not sure if PD) for a Logitech Logimouse
and a driver for MS mouse.  I do not know of ANY other mouse drivers 
for the Z-100.

Good luck,
Gern
