Wow. Just got my SECOND ZipGSX, and it didn't work either. I have a
Rev C SCSI and a AE GSRam+, 3MB. I called Zip Tech and spoke to Tony.
He suggested a quick solder fix (there's an open jumper in the lower
left of the board, right next to the connecter cable - talk to Tont at
Zip Tech). This was suppoed to eliminate some noise problems by
grounding the pin. It didn't work.

I pulled the AE card and replaced it with an Apple 1 meg board (full),
and everything worked fine! I then pulled the RAM from the AE card 1
meg at a time. It turned out to be the 1 meg of RAM that came with the
board! The other 2 megs (which I bought from The Chip Merchant long
ago) work just fine. So, I've got a 2MB machine running nice and
Zipped. Time to buy more RAM. Anyone wanna buy a megabyte?
