When I at last got a CPU card that would work with my VGA card,
Superkey wouldn't. I called Borland -- once I mentioned Z-158, I was
told I had to buy an "upgrade" to work with it.

For those who asked, I first tried EMS with an Amnesia board. It would
not run @ 8 mhz, but would at 4.7. After 2 or three boards went back
and forth, I got a designer at Xebec who said:
	Z-158? Forget it!
and went on to explain its bus timing problems.  After that, I called
other suppliers before sending money. They all gave me the same answer,
as did Intel when I asked about an Above Board.

Note that I was a 'regular' customer -- I had no campus rep, only the
Zenith store, to deal with.
