Actually, the zip chip does every thing claimed in the ad and then some. It
works 3-4 times faster than an off-the-shelf //, is comaptible with all
software and hardware (although the speed may need to be adjusted), and it is
simple to install. The real speed is better than XT unless the prog is disk or
FP intensive. The 8MHz is as fast as an AT, with the same provisos. The big
problem seems to be reliability. Many people have had problems, myself
included, some have had no problem. Zip has promised all replacements will be
received by christmas eve (I guess Santa'a bringing 'em), Some will be 8MHz if
you asked for your replacement to be upgraded as I did.

my opinions are absolutely orthogonal to my employer's.
