I think there were a couple of different versions of their peecee compatible involving differerent degrees of integration, 3 vs. 4 boards in the system or something like that. Anyhow, *somewhere* I have pretty complete docs on that stuff, along with what monitors and printers and such were out at that point in time. We didn't keep that up though. I'd gone for my initial training to Philly, a few hours drive for me, and a one-night stay in a motel for a two-day seminar that covered _all_ of that stuff. Later on Zenith decided that they were going to do away with handling things through the distribution chain and was gonna centralize everything, and get more bureaucratic while they were at it -- I'd need to submit a "batch ticket" along with a *single* warranty claim. But the real deal-killer for me was the requirement that I'd have to make _four_ separate trips (by air, too far to drive) to Chicago, and spend a total of _three weeks_ (not continuously, unfortunately) attending these seminars, and was expected to _pay_ for them -- a total of a couple of thousand all total, which was way more than what we were making in the servicing of this stuff, even though I was handling military installations of it and such. Anyhow, I still have all those docs, if anybody needs some, though I expect that it'd take me quite a while to dig them out... -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, ?a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. ?--Robert A.
