I really don't notice a significant difference between 1MHz and 8MHz
when I'm coding. The computer is always waiting on me as I enter my
next brilliant line of code. When I assemble, disassemble, compile,
parse and analyze or whatever, I've found the media I'm reading and
writing to is much more relevant, ie CFFA or other mass storage vs
floppy. The only time I really appreciate the speed increase is when
I'm loading someone's huge AppleWorks spreadsheet for conversion and
migration to another platform.
If someone manages to clone, or better yet, come out with something
that's an improvement over the ZipChip ... I'd buy several.
