I'd appreciate any info on upgrading a z386sx (one of those small-case
ones (the first 386sx Zenith produced) to a 33MHz 486 (or even 386).
The keyboard controller has gone on one of these, and I have about 10 more 2.5 
year old machines that will probably also start breaking down. If I'm going to 
replace the motherboard, I at least want something up-to-date; otherwise
I'll sell these computers for parts. Our techs tell me that nonstandard 
connectors and power supply mean that standard motherboards won't work, 
and they don't know about a 486 motherboard from Zenith for this case.
 Thanks for any info.
