Zenith Data Systems launches Real Rewards incentive program for Z-LINK GOLD
resellers

BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. -- April 1, 1996 -- Zenith Data Systems (ZDS) announced
today its Real Rewards incentive program for Z-LINK GOLD reseller owners,
sales managers and sales representatives. The initial program, slated to
run April 1 through June 30, 1996, will offer a variety of rewards --
including cash, customized lead-generation programs, ZDS products,
valuable merchandise, training programs and trips -- for selling eligible
ZDS products and achieving targeted sales goals.

"Z-LINK GOLD resellers can win in two ways with the Real Rewards program,"
said Dan Russo, director of Channel Marketing for ZDS. "They not only can
gain valuable cash rewards and merchandise, but also sophisticated
lead-generation tools like customized direct mail programs and advertising
campaigns. These are 'real' rewards which will help resellers create
additional sales opportunities and grow their businesses. In addition,
with this program, resellers benefit from working with a manufacturer that
is firmly dedicated to the channel and provides high-quality products and
high reseller margins."

ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS, PRODUCTS

To win rewards, Z-LINK GOLD reseller owners/managers and sales
representatives must attain certain sales goals of eligible ZDS products
during the contest period. Eligible ZDS products include the Z-NOTE GT,
Z-NOTE MX and Z-NOTEFLEX P notebook computers; Z-STATION GT Pentium- and

desktop computers; and Intel-based Z-SERVER systems.

WIDE RANGE OF REWARDS

Four levels of rewards will be awarded to owners and managers who sell a
minimum of $150,000 of eligible ZDS products. Winners can choose from
customized direct mail or advertising campaigns, evaluation units or
training seminars. The top three owner/managers who sell at least $300,000
of eligible products by May 31, 1996, will receive a trip for two to the
British Open PGA golf tournament. In addition, owner/manager participants
will have the opportunity to qualify for a chance to win a trip for two to
Hawaii.

Four levels of rewards will be awarded to sales representatives who sell a
minimum of $75,000 of eligible ZDS products. Qualified candidates can
