 Speaking of Zenith 248 computers, does anybody have a guesstimate on 
 the amount of tempested Zenith 248's produced? They typically are 
 labelled Zenith Inteq.

 I forget exactly when Zenith folded the operation, but I am willing 
 to hazard a guess that _any_ Heath product is a classic under the
 rules of this mailing list.  Even if it was a do-it-yourself multi- 
 meter.  
 I'm sure all the computers are but some training items are not since they
still

 do
 training. There is a mailing list like this for Heath enthusiasts but it deals

 with ham equipment and test equipment and all that is classic and antique in 
 nature. I have a Heath tube tester that dates back to 1967 myself and there
are

 people that have items back to some of the first kits and unbuilt kits as
well.

 The Z248's I have are dated 1987 and 1888 so I guess they qualify for this 
 list.
 Zenith Data Systems is now a separate company and has a web page at 
 http://www.zds.com and it appears that their main focus is government and 
 corporate machines rather than the everyday person.
