Are you talking about the new 386sx based notebook system? If so, I would be interested in any information people might have on this system. At $2295 (as advertised in PC Magazine) this is a lot less expensive than other 386sx based notebooks (The Texas Instruments TravelMate 3000 goes for over $4000!). Has anyone out there dealt with Zeos? Are they reliable? Are their products any good? Any info would be appreciated. Regards, Tim -- tim.lowery@SanDiego.NCR.COM

I just received one that I bought on behalf of the senior partner of the law firm I work for. They were waiting for FCC approval but shipped the first week in January, just as Zeos promised they would. I was very impressed. The machine appears to be well-built. The screen (backlit LCD VGA) was very sharp and reasonably bright. The keyboard has slightly smaller than normal keys with nice response. The layout is fairly standard (you do have to use the "fn" key to access PgUp and PgDn). The machine is as small and light-weight as advertised. Hard drive speed is very fast. 20mg is of course a little small, but workable. It really does have a 1.44mb floppy, as well as a port for an external VGA monitor. Included was an initialed list of quality control points. The battery is removable, of course. VGA utilities and expanded memory manager are included. Carrying case was not. I like the machine and would recommend it. Wish I had the little over $2000 it cost, I'd get one in a minute... -- ------- ======= ------- ======= ------- ======= ------- ======= ------- ======= uw-beaver!sumax!polari!lsh -- lsh@polari Lee Hauser If I pay for access, I don't have to disclaim ANYTHING!
