I remember somebody had an 128k splat-cache on their Zip...

Somebody said TWGS/Zip's "expansion" connector isn't really an expansion
connector at all, it was used to do quality control tests... etc.

In the case of the Zip, it caused too much interferences, so later Zips
don't even have it any more.

Sounds like you can boost your Zip a little more by upgrading the CPU
(and the accesories), see my mini-FAQ for a little more details.
