Heath/Zenith x100 series machines were prior to their XT-class boxes, they
were S-100 machines as I recall. I do have some extensive data on them, but
it's currently buried in a storage unit and I can't get to it. A search on
H100 or Z100 should find you some useful info, though.

THe Zenith Z-100 series were dual processor systems 8085/8088
that could run both CPM80 and MSdos but NOT PCdos.
It was a single board computer with 4 S100 slots for expansion.
There were several configurations a low profile a lot like the SOL20
and an all in one with built in monitor.

Does the all-in-one unit have a graphics mode? Collectible
Microcomputers says the H-100 had an 8 color 640x225 graphics mode.
Does that sound correct?

Yes, The Z100 was the first systems I ever ran AutoCAD on.
With the addition of a piggback board that sat between the CPU and motherboard
I added a 8087 math coprocessor and it worked well for me.
I still have that system packed away in storage.

The early systems were branded both ways, but I do not think it was ever available as a
kit.
I worked with the Zenith Edusystems distributer in chicago back then as a consultant
building the Corvis
interface and drivers, so my knowledge of the Heath side of the company is limited.

hmmm I have to wonder though. There were a number of
those correspondence type courses where (in later
years anyway) they'd send you uhh a Z148 or equivalent
to mosh together. Basically a beige box, mostly
compatible. I don't remember specific model numbers,
nor what was their first *real* peecee either. One
might think that they'd a pushed the 100/120 that way
if even for a short while. But heck what do I know...
OI HEATH*KIT* MEANS A KIT, NO???
