- As I understand it (therfore I could be wrong :-) These monitors and
- systems are from the mass merchandising effort. They have nothing in
- common with the more traditional ZDS products that are designed in
- St. Joseph. The PC's are built using standard components (standardized
- PCB layout, standard power supply, standard Phoenix type BIOS, etc.)
- that are sourced in the Far East. If you are familiar with the typical
- ZDS machine (what ever that is :-) you will notice a difference.
