Hi,

I'm probably one of the last users of Z100s in Germany. We have about 6
machines and I tried to at least get a bit of path to the future by getting
MS-Windows version 1.03 from Zenith about 2 years ago. Now we would like to
upgrade to a 2.0 version. But - according to Microsoft - the hardware drivers
changed from version 1 to version 2 (don't know if they also did some dirty
IBM-BIOS calls in the kernel...)

Has anyone out there done an adaption of the Zenith drivers to MS-Windows 2.0?
Or possibly Zenith is willing to give out the drivers' sources for the 1.0
version?  (Problem is: I don't have the address of the Technical Support of
Zenith USA.  Maybe someone can mail it to me...)

                    Greetings from Munich, West Germany
