Sorry guys,

but as Tony Vece from Zip Technology told me recently, the Zip GSX board has
been designed to run at Speed levels of up to 25 Mhz. Currently, Zip's ASIC
cp (the big, flat custom chip on the GSX, not Tony Fadell's 65816 clone!), is
designed in 1,2 Micron technology and will work with 65816 processors of up
to 16 Mhz. The 10Mhz-speed is only an internal value for this ASIC chip!

If Zip Technology decides to manufacture their ASIC chip at 1,0 Micron tech-
nology, the GSX board would be good for far more than 25 Mhz.
