True; I've a MACH 3.5 (bought from A.P.P.L.E) which is the same (and if
there's really a ZipChip out there somewhere, it has the same feature),
but an accelerator is an expensive option.  I've got 2 //e's but elected
not to buy an accelerator for the second one (speed up the processor
and all it really does is make you aware of how much time you actually
spend in disk I/O which doesn't get any faster).  Accelerators in one
form or another run $150-$200.  Seems to me you can buy a 65C02 all by
its lonesome for about $12 (NOTE: the accelerated chip is a 65C02C <--
extra 'C' on the end - which CAN'T simply be plugged in where the
6502 is <the ZipChip includes a cache memory along with the processor>).
