    Not sure if you are still around and checking these posts, but I figured I'd take my chances. I'm looking for the ROM listing for version 2.9 of the Zenith Z-100 BIOS. I can only find the version 2.5 ROM listing. If you have any information about this,
    or if you can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks!

    I really need to get my Z-100 out of the basement and see if I can get it to boot. :(

    You (and the OP) might want to check out the SEBHC (Society of
    Eight-bit Heathkit Computerists) mailing list on (ugh) Google Groups.
    It's quite a dynamic group of guys doing great work on Heath machines, including designing new boards for them, etc.

    To the OP: Someone there has to have that source listing.

    Agree, however specific to the Z-100 you might want to look into https://z100lifeline.swvagts.com/
