Okay as stupid as it is to followup my own post, but I reviewed the FAQ 
on accelerator upgrades and need to ask another question.  For an out of 
the box ZipGS, if I want to put a 14 mhz chip on it, do I require the 
crystal oscillator and SRAM (or anthing else I missed), or isn't it 
necessary at that speed, and I can just swap  chips?
