What software problems have you had with ZDS pc clones? I use ZDS
SupersPort, SupersPort 286, 386SX and 386-25. I have used Novell
Netware 286, WordPerfect, Harvard Graphics, Lotus 1-2-3, Allways,
Lotus Agenda, GrandView, Quattro, Quattro Pro, QuickBasic, QuickC,
Generic CADD, askSam, Kermit, Bitcom, SAS PC, dBase III+, MS Windows
and others without suffering any incompatibility.

Is the software incompatibility a problem of the z100pc? Does ZDS
still sell this machine?
