   Some people have this very mistaken notion that on a Rom 01, the
accelerator must be in Slot 3. Once again, I'll say that this is
very wrong. Flip the zip's cable at both ends, and the zip can be
moved to slot 1, leaving slot 3 for a video board. This setup is
working just fine for me, thank you very much.
