Zip GSX

[wbaguhn@nyx10.cs.du.edu (Will Baguhn)]

I am now thoroughly impressed with my system.  I used to run on a ROM 1
IIgs with a 7/8k Zip GSX.  A nice system, but kinda... blah.
At least, when compared to my current set-up.
I upgraded the Rom 1 to a Rom 3 Motherboard, and found 4 15ns 32k x 8 chips
at a local Computer Renaissance ($16 for the set!  I couldn't believe it!).

For the past two days, I've been soldering on the board... it's a wonderful
feeling to finish a chunk of the work, plug it in, and see no smoke.  :)

Anyway... for people still stuck with an 8k cache... installing a 64k cache
is definitely the way to go.  I also performed the "Split Cache" modification,
and the speed difference under Finder was notable.  Not just a little perkier,
almost instantly responsive.  Made it almost feel like a bigger processor.

(for the few who may care, my next mod will be dropping in a faster-rated
processor (it's currently stamped with "-6"), and also slipping the 48
Mhz crystal in instead of the 28.3220.  that should be a bit perkier, too. :) )

anyway... seeyas all around.  this lightning-fast system is going to go do
real speed testing... ("how fast can you display the .jpg's?")
