Since I bought my machine in Jan 93, I have had nothing but problems: 
 
1) salesman told me I would get a Diamond Stealth 24 video card  
but when I opened the case to add RAM I found a cheap NCR card!  
When I called Zeos, they said that the Stealth that I paid for was  
backordered at the time my system was shipped. There was no notice 
 of this substitution anywhere on the invoice.When did they  
intend to tell me ? NEVER! 
2) waited two weeks for Stealth card. Called Zeos and was informed that 
the card was still back ordered and would not ship for at least two more 
weeks. I chose to order the Viper card which was an additional $100 and 
would be shipped that day. Two days later the Viper card arrived and was 
installed. The next day the Stealth card arrived! 
3) From day 1 the machine would crash out of Windows and lock up.  
 Tech support had me change 128k cache module 6 times before  
deciding motherboard was bad. I was given the choice of changing 
 motherboards myself or shipping the unit back to Zeos at my expense. 
4) New motherboard exhibited the same instability,so we swapped cache 
modules two more times. Zeos decided that the second motherboard was 
also bad so I had to change mother board AGAIN!!!!  
  Finally, in Dec 93 almost a year later, I had a machine that didn't  
crash 2-3 times a day. Lulled into false sense of security, I decided to 
upgrade my machine and add a cd rom drive and SCSI hard drive.  
Here begins circus number 2 
1) was told by Zeos tech support that the onboard 6360 Adaptec chip  
used a 16 bit  bus on the Gosling motherboard. After I installed it,  
I find out it uses only an 8 bit bus and is not suitable for  
controlling a hard drive. 
2) When Adaptec SCSI chip was shipped it arrived without breakout  
panel for external peripherals even though I told rep I needed  
it for an external cd-rom and an internal hard drive. When I  
called Zeos, NO RECORD of my needing the ($29.99) external option could  
be found. 
3) SCSI chip was shipped with outdated Adaptec drivers. THREE count'em  
THREE techs in three weeks told me they were shipping updated  
drivers to me the same day. Four weeks later,they tell me I have to BUY 
 them from Adaptec for an additional $29.99. Total cost of $49 upgrade, 
 $110 plus shipping. 
 
It is now two years from the day that I bought the machine. I just got 
off the phone with tech support (After trying for 3 solid days). My  
keyboard interpreter on the motherboard has failed. A new motherboard  
will cost me $500 and it won't be in stock for 2 weeks. The proprietary  
ram cache module design has been scrapped, so it will cost me additional 
 money, if I want a cache on the new motherboard. 
 DON'T BUY ZEOS!
