This is all very interesting.  I have a 9/32 Zip and am not crazy about doing
a lot of modifying to increase the overall speed.  Sounds like if I just 
install the 14 mhz processor and new oscillator only and forget the 3 mil SRAM
mods to 64K, I ought to expect around 12 to 13 mhz in speed with almost no 
more noticeable improvement no matter what else I do.  By the way, are the 
data and tag sockets labelled on the zip card?
