Few months ago I bought a Mastersport 386sx/20 with a 85MB hd, now
I have some problems:

	(1) suspend button doesn't work properly
it turns off hd but not the video and machine doesn't go to sleep and 
when batteries are low my Zenith turn off itself instead to switch on
suspend feature (Power management is enabled)

	(2) random colors under Win3.1
mouse arrow pointer is black with a dark body and if I jump to dos or to
a dos task and then go back to win I can find some colors changed;
Paintbrush work space is always black and tools aren't light (for example)
so it's hard to me working with some applications
(I have a Logitech mouse and mouse driver version is 6.02)

	(3) battery life
working with Winword 2.0 I have about 2.15 h up to 3.00 h with more dos
applications: I think this is the average.
Nobody knows if Zenith or someone else will produce more powerful battery
packs for Mastersports?

	(4) optionals
here in Italy they costs a lot, for example
	asyn modem card ~400$
  	syn modem card  ~600$
	syn/asyn modem/fax card ~1000$
Is it the same outside?


thanks in advance
