        Is this really a Z-152 and not a Z-151?  I have a Z-151 that is still
running at 4.77 MHz because I haven't put the effort into doing the upgrade.
I have photocopies of the HUG magazine report on the upgrade, including a
parts list and circuit diagram.  Total cost is under $100 for the chips.
If this is of any help, I can mail it to you.

        Would you let me know of any responses you get to this?  I still
want to do this upgrade, and I would like to know what other possibilities
exist.  (I must admit, though, that I wonder if the effort is worth it,
especially with the price of current PC technology, especially the high
resolution graphics.  To upgrade mine to VGA, I might have to spend about
$800 - including colour monitor - when I could buy a similar, faster machine
for about twice that.)
