- This is exactly the reason I sold my 158 cheap! - these are the result of bios and
- other hardware incompatibilities - like the 768KB on the mother board whose
- memory addressing conflicts with various 3rd party expanded memory boards.
-
- If the machine has the latest bios version from Zenith (and yes, they have
- updated it since ceasing to make the machine), there is no a lot else that can
- be done short of a new machine.
-
- But just in case I'm full of hot air, check with the zenith technical support
- people. They will talk to end-users these days.
