I have a Zenith SuperSport 286. Whenever I use a disk check utility such as DOS CHKDSK or Mace or Norton, or if I compare two files, I get random characters all over the screen. The machine seems also incredibly sensitive to static, much more so than my cheap clones, and static way on the other side of the room which I can't even feel. I don't know how it could be used as a portable computer, it lives on my desk. Zenith tells me neither of these problems should occur. The local authorized dealer "taped the video wires" and actually the problem got better for a while, but is back. Again, I'm hardly ever moving the laptop, so I don't think changes are due to the wires juggling around or anything. Any tips? Thanks. Bruce Waldman, bw@harvarda.bitnet waldman2@husc4.harvard.edu
