In all fairness, I have contacted a person within Zenith who knows nothing about discontinuing the memory boards. (He didn't say they weren't, he just said he hadn't heard it. Also, he pointed out that they are still on the educational price list.) He DID say that they were "no longer making the 16MHz Z-386." So it probably won't be long before they discontinue the memory, too. I'm still waiting for the definitive answer. I get one story from a dealer, another from a Zenith person. Sigh. What's I'm hoping is that they'll keep making them long enough to take advantage of the now-very-cheap memory chips. James Krause
