[comp.sys.zenith] Zenith 148 help

axmac@acad2.anc.alaska.edu (11/17/90)

Hello...

I am the owner of a seeming really old Zenith (148) (Correct?)
At the moment, I am happy with the machine in all but a few ways.

It seems to like to CRASH. Something about the stack being blow, or 
(here's the most annoying) *** Non Maskable interupt recieved ***.

Would some kind soul out there help me out with this?! THis has been going on
for about 3 years now, and I have been living with it. But i am tired of it
also! (NOt to mention i just got our new news reader up here in Alaska).

The local Zenith dealer (out of business now) wanted to try and talk me into
going for the 248. but... Buying another is not the answer !

Here is my setup :

Msdos 3.3		(Upgraded from The MSDOS 3.1)
2400 BPS Modem 		(Just bought another one, the one that came with mine
			 finally died)
20 Meg and 40 Meg       ( Just put the second drive on it. Also picked up
   Hard drives.           another power supply to power both the drives!)
360k Floppy
NEC V20			(Faster, nice!)
Mouse			(Qtronix)

The problem has existed since i bought the computer, so i know it isn't
anything i have added on. It can get really frustrating sometmes!

One other thing. QEMM won't run. Period. End of story. Zilch!
Just locks up.

Thanks for any help!
