ZIP TECH's stated policy on upgrades is that they'll do it with a 48hr
turnaround; their prices are reasonable.  In addition, I was told over
the phone by a customer service technician that the cache chips could be
added by a user (they're standard static RAMs).  To increase the cache on
the TWGS you have to buy a "piggyback" board for $85-90; I haven't seen
anything about a CPU upgrade.  At any rate, the memory cache seems to be
the most cost-effective way of upgrading an accelerator.
As far as compatibility, I haven't had any problems yet.
