Anyone out there that's successfully added a memory expansion
board to a Zenith Z-200 series 286 PC?

I bought one of these creatures about 6 months ago that came
with an Everex EV-125 card (Magic Card 16) that I could upgrade
by just adding chips, but so far I haven't been able to make it
work.  I suspect that either the card is defective or it's
incompatible with the Zenith machine.  

Here's what I have currently;

Zenith Z-248 286/8
512k RAM
EGA display

I'd like to get up to at least 1MB if not 2.  Anyone have any
recommendations for a board they've used to do this?  Any other
suggestions?  (Besides, "Buy a *new* machine."?  :-)

Thanks!!!

-Steve
