Help w/ these GS cards

[fbruno@I_should_put_my_domain_in_etc_NNTP_INEWS_DOMAIN (Frank Bruno)]

Hello,
	I am in the process of getting a ][gs, ROM 03, HD, 1 MB Ram,
but I am always looking to expand it, so I contacted a friend w/
some GS stuff and got a few things and I want to know if they are any good.

1) Zip/GS 1.01 He was told this was flakey. Is this true? should I attempt
to use it?

2) PlusRam GS-8 w/ prom disk. has 1MB installed, expandable to 8MB...
anyone got 1Mbit dips???

3) A card which plugs into the memory expansion slot and contains a battery
backup so that you can turn your RAM card into non-volitile storage.

If anyone has experience with any of these, let me know. Also, switch settings
or software for the Zip/GS would be good, all others came w/ software and box.
Also, anyone with knowledge of cheap 1Mbit Dips, let me know... Might be
fun beefing the GS up to 8MB.

					Thanks,
