Not that I know of. MS-DOS 3.1 was the highest version that Zenith
released for it. The PC-DOs 4 is a private effort by John Beyers

There was a Zenith MS-DOS 3.31+ that ran on the Z-150/Z-151;
I can probably scare it up...
Thanks for the offer but the 150 and higher models are completely
different machines from the Z-100. They use the ISA buss and are 100% IBM
compatible so the OS is basicly PC DOS.

that wrote a program to
patch PC-DOS 4.0 to run on the Z-100.
Is there a 3.31 available for it? -dq

I did have a Z-100 that could run standard versions of MS/PC-DOS though
because of the Gemini daughtercard installed on the mainboard. Another
interesting thing is that the DOS 2.X I have from Zenith lists it as being
for the 'Z-100 series', which could be taken to include the Z-150.

Do you still have the Gemini card? are you interested in parting with
it? I have two working Z-100s here.

Not if you're familar with how Zenith named the software. "Z-100
series" meant the Z-120, 121, etc which were the actual model numbers of
the s-100 based systems. "Z-100 PC series" refererred to the IBM
compatible machines (Z-150s, 158, 161, etc). Confusing isn't it?

Sorry Joe, the Gemini went with the Z-100 when I gave it to
someone else.
