Byte has finally reviewed our favorite home computer (Jan., 1984 issue). The review is generally favorable, claiming that the Z100 is superior hardware to the IBM PC. The Z100 also has 8 bit CP/M capability (Heath format diskettes). Kenton Lee AT&T Bell Laboratories 5941ux!kfl

After reading the Jan. BYTE review of the Z-100, I wanted more information about the machines. I got the phone for the Zenith office listed in BYTE from the operator. Zenith referred me to a division called Zenith Distributors of Illinois (where I live). I contacted a salesperson there, and asked for a list of delaers, and sales literature. This on Wednesday afternoon. I received the literature in the following day's mail. ZDof Ill also gave me the name of a dealer about 5 miles from my home. I was very impressed with the promptness of their organization in sending the sales literature. I also asked ZD of Ill why Zenith does not advertise in the home computer magazines such as BYTE. It appears that Zenith is advertising in business magazines almost exclusively. Can anyone confirm this?? Has anyone ever seen an ad for the Z-100?? Anyway, if the after sale support from Zenith is as good as the before sale support was then the Z-100 might be a good system to buy. -- Richard Covert BTL Indian Hills West, Room 1E-408 ...ihnp4!ihuxq!covert (312) 979-7488
