Does the ZIP really work fine?
I have a PlusRam GS8 memory board with 6 MB and it could be expanded to
8MB. This board is _not_ DMA compatible. It could be made, but then you
can access only 4 MB. My RAMFast rev D works flawlessly in the none-DMA
mode (BTW 1 MB cache).
About half a year ago I thought of buying a ZIP. But everybody I asked
told me that it would not work with a card that is not DMA compatible!
So I refused to buy one.
Now you are telling that the ZIP works fine... Now what?
