No, the Meg-80z from Sequential Systems is just a 1MB Aux slot RAM card for the
//e. I have one in a beige PAL //e and ran into a timing problem that prevented
the display of the first 7 pixels of the first visable scan line in 80 col/DHR
modes. I fixed that by putting a 60Hz IOU chip in it.

David, does the your Platinum International NTSC model have the same symptom?

Sequential must have got a good deal on that Zig-Zag InLine memory. I have it
in all three cards from SS:

	Second Sight
	Meg-80z
	Imagewriter 1MB buffer/Appletalk card
