Jim,
A very reputable Arkenstone dealer, Noel Runyan of Personal Data Systems, the
place where Chuck and Cindy got their Arkenstone, tells me that the important
thing about the bus is that ideally, it should run at 8MHz. For a while, some
makers souped up the bus speed, but people had problems, so most have stopped.
The Zenith is pretty standard, but should be okay, however, you should ask
dealer about bus speed. Also Zenith uses its own bios, or at least used too, so
very occasionally there were problems. You might want to give Micky Quenzer a
call at Arkenstone, 1-800-444-4443 and ask him if he knows of any Zeniths with
Arkenstones.
