I thought I had mentioned this, but Clarkson is getting the Z-200 series in
this coming year, with full Z-100 compatibility.  The '200 is an AT 
compatible, and was selected by the US Government to be THE machine for
the military - as was the '100 a few years back.  I haven't seen one, but
Clarkson has had them for a while and reports are excellent.  The machine
is supposedly EXTREMELY compatible with the AT, plus has other little
features.  However, not having my hands on one, I can't really say too
much in detail.. Why not go request a Heath catalog?  Has lots of information
in it about all of their computers...
