	I'm not arguing that TWGS is a better accelerator than the Zip
GS, because I don't think I can justify that.

	But I am willing to argue about the above point.  The TWGS has
the CDA in rom, which makes it infinitely better than the Zip's
cda/cdev/nda etc.  For those who don't always boot into gs/os, it
makes switching speeds MUCH easier.  As for NDA's and CDEV's they
exist, but they were just written by third party authors... maybe AE
couldn't afford the disk...  8)

	I'll give you the fact that the Zip CDA supports a lot of
different options, which is nice, but the fact that it has to be
loaded in is a disadvantage.
