This is infact a known problem. PI4 works fine with the older Zip Chip 4000
& 8000 Series chips. Not with the newer redesigned 8 Mhz. If you have 2 SRAMs
showing on the bottom of your ZipChip you have the newer version. No work  
around was ever figured out by either Zip or Timeworks, who kept blaming each
other. Seems to me that if the program worked on a normaly configured system
and with an older Zip product, that they would be the ones that 'broke' it.

It shouldn't be that hard. But nothing ever came of it from either party.
