Here I am, responding to my own note.  In all fairness, I have contacted
a person within Zenith who knows nothing about discontinuing the memory
boards.  (He didn't say they weren't, he just said he hadn't heard it.
Also, he pointed out that they are still on the educational price list.)
He DID say that they were "no longer making the 16MHz Z-386."  So it probably
won't be long before they discontinue the memory, too.

I'm still waiting for the definitive answer.  I get one story from a dealer,
another from a Zenith person.  Sigh.  What's I'm hoping is that they'll
keep making them long enough to take advantage of the now-very-cheap
memory chips.
