ZipChipGS+ has 16K of cache RAM and is DMA compatible. The ZipChipGS/+ is a square printed circuit board that plugs directly into the CPU socket. They are packaged product and no further upgrade beyond what is listed is possible or very difficult to upgrade it any further. The ZipChipGSX comes with 16K of cache RAM and expandable upto 32 or 64K of cache RAM. The board is similar in size with the TWGS and uses the same method of been in a slot and plugging a connection to the CPU socket. The board also has a place for storing the 40 pin CPU that come in the GS into the board for storage. Other features include the ablelity to solder on a voltage regulator to supplely the 6-volts needed for the WDC 8-13Mhz high speed 65816s. The board is said to be expandable up to 20Mhz. Also there are connectors for fure ture expansion... which only time will tell.
