Yeah, actually.  Except for the Quantum, I have an exact similar setup and my
Zip GSX works.

When you install the Zip GSX, you have to press FIRMLY down on the CPU
connector.  It doesn't seem like much... but that's usually the case.  You'll
probablely even hear it as it goes in all the way.  That should do the trick.
You can put the RamFAST driver back as well.
