Here is an interesting find for all you computer buffs..
I found a Zenith Z170 Lunch Box PC at a local Thrift store last week.
Could'nt find anything out about it, until I saw an Osborne Encore, its
Identical
except the Osborne is Gray, and the Zenith is a natural white..
I know that Adam Osborne's company went belly-up around this time 1984, is it
possible that he sold the machine rights to Zenith ?
This machine is really cool, boots up in DOS, has the smallest dual 5-1/4
floppy I have ever seen for its time period..
Here is a WebSite that shows the Osborne version of it..
