Re: Help Needed with ZIP GS Switch 2 Settings

Wellllll, I happen to be in a unique, perhaps enviable, position.  I happen to
have two Zip GS v1.0.2 processor cards.  One is rated at 7mhz, 8K the other is
8mhz and 32K.  (Guess which one is in the system now.)

There are now two possible options open to me:

Option #1:  Sell the Zip GS, 7mhz, 8K card on eBay for $200 - $250.  (In case
you're oversees and salivating, that's in USD, not any other currency.  :)

Option #2:  Experiment with one card and if I screw up, I still have one.  This
has a certain appeal to me.  If I am able to do this, I can STILL sell the
spare card for $200 - $250.

Hummm...  Decisions, decisions...  :)
