I found it while looking at the EPROM. It's easier then guessing. While in the "About" page type "0" for the startup screen or "1" to display the following: Total EEPROM Writes: 77 Firmware Creation Date: 18 Nov 89 Cache Size (K): 8 Machine: Apple //e CPU Speed (MHz): 7.1 Auxillary Memory (K): 1024 If the firmware creation date, cache size, or CPU speed is different on yours let me know in e-mail what differences there are. A shame AE dropped this device as is the only accelerator that is configurable without a disk and it remembers the configuration. A shame Zip took the buy our chip or we'll sue you too attitude on a patent on caching that everybody else uses and you don't see Zip taking others to task on this! Not much justice when Zip should have been sued for some of the things they did to their customers earily on. You can paint it all kinds of pretty colors and have speakers give it glowing reviews, but abortion is still baby killing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ gtolar@xcluud.sccsi.com <-or-> uunet!nuchat!xcluud!gtolar I didn't write the organization or path.
