Zenith Minisport - Disadvantages

Disadvantages

• The MiniSport, like most personal computers of its day, had a battery which maintained the BIOS NVRAM. When this battery failed the computer would not boot until the user edited the configurable BIOS parameters. The Minisport NVRAM battery was replaceable.
• The Minisport's 2" floppy disks were not popular and were much more expensive than 5.25 and 3.5 inch floppy disks.
