I have a Zenith Z-386/20 sitting on my desk. It uses SIMM's but the SIMM's
are incompatible with most other common SIMM's. I was told by our service
company that the SIMM's are the same as those used in the IBM PS/2 machines
however after ordering some which were labeled IBM I could not get any of 
them to work. I tried them all in the first position because I knew the 
configuration should work. Zenith 1Mb SIMM's are *NOT* cheap.

	If anybody can clear up this mess *PLEASE* let  us know.

Thanks..
