I just downloaded a file off my neighborhood bbs containing a whole "thread"
of Compu$erve discussion of Zip chips.  It's probably a violation of
copyright to circulate those messages; besides, they're substantailly
redundant.  In short -

1) There are ordinary folks out there receiving Zip chips.
2) They do work as advertised; one club benched marked Zip against Transwarp
   and decided it's a draw (depends on what software and what it's doing).
3) Still LOTS of peope who ordered at last Fall's Applefest who are still
   awaiting delivery (if you order now, don't hold your breath).
4) There's a new, similar competitor called the "Rocket Chip" said to be
   twice as fast as Zip (6MHz instead of "only 4").
5) The rumored Zip-GS is still vaporware.
