OOPS!!! As Don pointed out, I didn't mention the price of Painter's Apprentice: $35.00 US of A. To get the wonderful Z-100 Painter's Apprentice (formerly sold by ZDS for $79) direct from the Author: Send check or money order FOR ONLY $35.00 to: Russell Nelson 11 Grant Street Potsdam, New York 13676 You need a mouse. There are known Z-100 drivers for a Logitech and Microsoft mice. I am not sure if there are patches for Z-100 MS-Windows to work with the Logimouse. The Radio Shack Mouse at ~=$49.00 CLAIMS to be MS-Mouse hardware compatible (If it really isn't, RS has a good return policy). Don points out that it comes with a DB9 connector. The ZMOUSE driver that Russ provides will currently work with only J2 (Russ - Just send me the source code...). Get Russ's program for your Z-100 and be amazed!

Should I ask ZDS for a refund ($79 x 0.80 - $35)? :-) Seriously, I like this
package a lot. I've used it to design my own greeting cards (with Chinese
characters on them).
Speaking of MS-Serial Mouse, I got a piano program with the order. What do I
do to make my Z100 to play piano?
About FBE memory upgrade. I put it in about a year and a half ago. I've never
had any problem with it. Not too long ago, I used the 64K chips saved from the
FBE upgrade on my video board after one video memory chip was reported as bad.
This fixed the problem and upgraded the video memory in the mean time.
(Thank you, Gern. It worked.)
