I  have a Zenith 386/16 and purchased a memory board to go with
it.  It didn't work because the  Zenith 386 does not refresh 
1 Meg chips correctly.  I believe the Zenith 286 that has a 
backplane has the same problem.  I was told that they work  
with boards that takes 256K chips, but I  that is hearsay.

I find that Zenith computers are not as compatible as they
claim to be.
