Speaking of Zenith 248 computers, does anybody have a guesstimate on
the amount of tempested Zenith 248's produced? They typically are
labelled Zenith Inteq.

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.
