Huh? The ROM 3 machine simply has a different ROM than the ROM 1 machine.
There are is no major HW differences (except maybe the keyboard stuff).
I have a feeling from your comments that you haven't seen the GS's sound
capabilities unleashed.. Have you heard Diversi-Tune or synthLAB???
SoundSmith is nice, but it isn't the best.. I really doubt that the
Amiga's sound can take on the IIgs.. (I'm not saying the Amiga is bad, just
that the GS's sound capabilities are far greater than those of the Amiga).

If you want your Zip Chip to work with your RamFast, call Zip Tech. and
ask for the ROM upgrade...
