The ZipChip by far.  It runs a lot cooler, and if you ever want to up the
voltage to get more speed out of it, you just need to increase the Zip's
voltage, not the entire computers.  Also, ModZap v00.90b3's full-screen
oscilloscope does not work well (fast enough) with a TW.  The TW's Cache
is only upgradable to 32k, while the Zip can do 64k.  AE went out of
business, so you might be able to pick up a zip for real cheap.

Good luck!
