Item 1.   Security and Issuer.  This Amendment No. 1 amends
Schedule 13D, dated September 2, 1997, which relates to the
Common Stock, no par value per share (the "Zytec Common Stock"),
issued by Zytec Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the
"Company").  On December 29, 1997, the Company was merged (the
"Merger") with CPI Acquisition Corp., a Minnesota corporation
("CPI Sub"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Computer
Products, Inc., a Florida corporation ("CPI").  The Company's
principal executive offices are located at 7575 Market Place
Drive, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344.  CPI's principal executive
offices are located at 7900 Glades Road, Suite 500, Boca Raton,
Florida  33434.

Subsequent to the Merger, Zytec will file a Form 15 under Rules
12g-4 and 12h-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") which will terminate the registration of Zytec
Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.  The shares of
Zytec Common Stock are no longer listed on The Nasdaq National
Stock Market.


Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.  CPI, CPI Sub and the Company
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 2,
1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), which sets forth the terms and
conditions of the Merger.  The Merger and related transactions
were approved by Company stockholders and CPI stockholders on
December 29, 1997.  As of such date, each share of Zytec Common
Stock (other than any shares held by the Company or its
subsidiaries, or owned by CPI, CPI Sub or any other of CPI's
subsidiaries) was automatically converted into the right to
receive 1.33 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of
CPI ("CPI Common Stock").  In the Merger, Messrs. Schmidt, Steel
and Matthews disposed of their shares of Zytec Common Stock and
acquired, in the aggregate, approximately 3,257,692 shares of CPI
Common Stock.

          As a condition of CPI and CPI Sub entering into the
Merger Agreement, CPI required that Messrs. Schmidt, Steel and
Matthews each enter into a Voting Agreement, dated September 2,
1997 (the "Voting Agreement"), whereby such stockholders agreed
to vote their shares of Zytec Common Stock in favor of the
Merger, and granted an irrevocable proxy to each of Messrs.
O'Donnell and Thompson, solely in their capacities as officers of
CPI, to vote their shares of Zytec Common Stock in favor of the
Merger, to vote against any other plan or proposal for any
business combination involving the Company and any entity other
than CPI, and to not sell or otherwise transfer said shares
during the term of the Merger Agreement.  On December 29, 1997,
the shares of Zytec Common Stock owned by Messrs. Schmidt, Steel

and Matthews were voted by Mr. Thompson pursuant to the Voting
Agreement in favor of the Merger and the Voting Agreement, by its
terms, ceased to be of any further force or effect.  As a result
of the consummation of the Merger, the Reporting Persons are no
longer members of a "group", as such term is used in the Exchange
Act, in reference to Zytec Common Stock and no Reporting Person
is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of CPI Common Stock.

          After reasonable inquiry and to the best of each of the
undersigned's knowledge and belief, the undersigned each certify
that the information set forth in this statement is true,
complete and correct.
