Z-110/H-110 without built-in monitor; Z-120/H-120 with.  4 S-100 
slots.  Completely incompatible with IBM 5150, but fairly popular 
when it first came out.  The "H" models are the Heathkit "make your 
own cold solder joints" form, but otherwise the same as the Zenith 
units.

Unlike the Rainbow, the use of the 8085 was probably not such a great 
idea after Heath/Zenith had been producing Z-80 systems.


Cheers,
