Hi,
	I have a Z248/12 with a z1492 monitor, I read the owner's manual
and found an interesting remark: in the specification it says the video
memory has 256K video RAM standard and provision for an additional 256K.
So I went through the installation guide for the Z549 card and not a word
mentioning this upgrading capability.  I am quite puzzled.  Is it
possible to upgrade the video card to 512K?  If so, how?  Otherwise,
I guess it is just a misleading line in the owner's manual then.
Thanks.

In my experience Zenith manuals often mislead. I wold try the direct
method - look at the card. If it has empty sockets (memory style - at
least 8 for 64K chips) then it can be upgraded.
