There is no such beast.  Only 4 MHz and 8 MHz versions of the ZIP CHIP
were ever made.  There was the Rocket Chip, made by Bits & Pieces, but
Zip sued it (and them?) out of existence.  The Rocket Chip came in 5
MHz and 10 MHz versions.

It is certainly not possible to buy the Rocket Chip new any more.  Last
I heard, MCTA (ex ZIP Technology) had run out of the 8 MHz ZIP chip,
but they might have them available again.

Either of them might be able from companies such as Alltech and Shreve:

You could also try MCTA, who make the ZIP CHIP and ZIP GS.  I'm not
certain that the following contact details are correct.  Can someone
else confirm or correct this for me?
