The Z248 will read the Z100 disks directly, but I don't know if
Ashton Tate Dbase I files are the same as Dbase III.
One (at least it was) good source of Zenith info is the Navy Regional
Data Automation Center (NARDAC) at Norfolk, VA.  The Air Force
supposedly has a similar office at Gunter AFS, but the Navy seems to 
have put a lot into supporting the Zenith micros.
NARDAC runs a bulletin board also and you may be able to get the
program you need or the information by sending a message through
the BBS.
I don't know any of the NARDAC numbers, but I think the 
AUTOVON info number at Norfolk is 564-0111.
