I ordered a ZWL-300-10 from the zenith bbs an item # 36 from the 12/07/92
list. It read SupersPort SX 120Mb 1mb ram $690.00. I was hopefull and
exited until the evening it arrived (today-friday). I sort of figured out
how to hook up the battery although it won't stay locked. I turned it on
and the battery is dead. OK I'll charge it. Where are the instructions?.
...later. Where are the instructions? No instructions. The only books
are Dos 3.?, 5.0, and windows 3.0. I find the adaptor and plug it in to
the computer. I turn it on....it boots. Dir shows Command.com with
42.xxxx meg remaining. 42 meg where is the 120 meg drive? Dir d: invalid.
No Windows no dos files no nothin. Not even a zeroxed paper on how to
charge the battery. This wasn't a one of a kind unit. There were 37 in
stock when I ordered mine. No returns unless dead on arrival. Should I
shoot it? Is this fraud? I wonder if anyone else shares my joy and
excitment?
Maybe I just can't change with the times. I remember when Heath/
Zenith stood for something. I have an H-89, Z-89, H-151, Z-161, H386/25,
and now an unreturnable portable. Is it time for Gateway, Dell, or even
a ValuePoint (now that IBM seems to have woken up)?
I spent half a day on the phone with Zenith trying to get a manufact
p/n for 4 megabyte sims for my 386. Zenith wants $455.00 when they are
adv elswhere for $133.00.

I'm tired,
jim
