For those who so "desparately need the speed" now, why not get an
acelerator card, assuming there is space for it in your //e?.  The
Titan and Transwarp cards offer clock speeds of about 3.5 X normal,
compared to the 4 X speed claimed for the ZIP CHIP.

I've been using a Titan Accelerator //e for about 3 years now, and
could not live without it.  I do have a totally packed //e, but since
most slot cards cannot be used in slot 3 anyway, due to on-card ROM, I
have no problem allocating slot 3 to the Accelerator.
