Hmm, the Zeniths which I have seen did not have a mother
board. Maby I'm wrong, but I thought that Zenith _always_
used a backplane. Any Zenith experts here?
I have come across a couple of these at the dump and
they're way cool. A little difficult to get along with for
a "clone" guy like me however. One thing which is really
nice though is the row of LEDs on the processor board
which light up in sequence to show the progression of the
POST. Niiiice and techie!
I think that Zenith was labouring under the delusion
that quality was a way to compete. <g>

Many computers can run at 10 MHZ and below. Then again,
there's always the turbo button. You could probably find a
286 in that range. Also many XTs were 10MHZ. Those speed
devils are not so pricey any more. <VBG> In fact, if you
live in a larger city, you could probably convince someone
to pay YOU to remove it. Hehe.
BTW, are you talking about bus speed or processor speed?
When it comes to bus speed, any ISA bus should do.
