The non-commutative algebra which defines the theory of zero-branes on $T^4/Z_2$ allows a unified description of moduli spaces associated with zero-branes, two-branes and four-branes on the orbifold space. Bundles on a dual space $\hat T^4/Z_2$ play an important role in this description. We discuss these moduli spaces in the context of dualities of K3 compactifications, and in terms of properties of instantons on $T^4$. Zero-branes on the degenerate limits of the compact orbifold lead to fixed points with six-dimensional scale but not conformal invariance. We identify some of these in terms of the ADS dual of the $(0,2)$ theory at large $N$, giving evidence for an interesting picture of "where the branes live" in ADS.
