Re: mini-FAQ: upgrading TransWarp GS/Zip GS

[90taobri@wave.scar.utoronto.ca (TAO BRIAN T)]

    I have all the parts necessary to upgrade my ZipGS, but I have a
question about the crystal.  My ZipGS uses a small, squarish "can" for
the crystal, soldered to the board via two pins.  It measures about half
a centimeter on each side.  There is a circle silkscreened around the
joints.  To its left, there is an empty space on the board for a 14-pin
socket.  I assume this is for the larger, 4-pin crystal oscillator. 
According to Terry Steeper (the dealer from whom I ordered the upgrade
kit), I need to clip off the old two-pin crystal and solder in a socket
and the new 4-pin crystal.  There are also 2 surface-mount capacitors
and 1 resistor (or maybe it was two resistors and one capacitor) located
between the 14-pin socket and the 2-pin crystal.  These are extremely
tiny and I'm told I need to desolder these (since they are used in
conjunction with the two-pin crystal).  If I'm removing the two-pin
crystal anyway, wouldn't it be safe to leave those three components in? 
I don't think I would be able to remove them without damaging the board
or the components around it.  Suggestions?
