    "Alltech was a distributor for the ZipGS, just as EGO Systems was.
The problem is REMcorp apparently halted production of the board and
run out of any leftovers that were hanging around (at least this is
according to a very strong rumour, but I would highly suspect it is
fact. I say rumour because no one has contacted REMcorp yet for an
official confirmation)."

-------------------------

To which I reply: I contacted REMcorp by phone last month concerning the 
ZipGS production and availability from them.  They informed me that they 
were no longer producing the ZipGS.  I have also learned from a fairly 
confident rumor that a SuperZipGS card for the IIgs - that will run at 
20Mhz will be available for commercial sales to the public some time in 
the next few months.  This should be offered from an as yet unknown
source.  As I said this is only an unconfirmed but, fairly confident 
rumor only!

Cheers,
