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.

Eventually? I don't really know anything about these systems, but it seems
strange that something like that would happen only after a while of such
use. Maybe it draws more power and eventually burns out components? Please
elaborate. :-)

But that would be picking nits...

I don't know anything about the "eventually" part but there are some
differences in the keys on the Z-100 and PC keyboards and the differences
can cause problems with some applications.
