I'm sure all the computers are but some training items are not since they still do
training. There is a mailing list like this for Heath enthusiasts but it deals
with ham equipment and test equipment and all that is classic and antique in
nature. I have a Heath tube tester that dates back to 1967 myself and there are
people that have items back to some of the first kits and unbuilt kits as well.
The Z248's I have are dated 1987 and 1888 so I guess they qualify for this list.
Zenith Data Systems is now a separate company and has a web page at
http://www.zds.com and it appears that their main focus is government and
corporate machines rather than the everyday person.
