Plus, ZDS is now shipping enhanced models of the Z-STAR EX with a larger 10.4" DSTN display panel for the same price as previous models. Other highlights are an upgraded processor (Intel DX4/75) and expanded hard drives (250-520MB). All systems are backed by a one-year limited warranty that includes Z-CARE onsite, next- business-day service. Zenith Data Systems, Buffalo Grove, IL,(800) 533-0331.
