Just thought I'd second that and mention that my 8MHz ZipChip (model 8000) works
just fine with my mouse and DHR mode as well.  I tried it with Publish It! 4
yesterday.  My IIe system looks like this:

- Rev D motherboard, ZipChip 8000 soldered in, 18 ga. power wires to all slots
- Bugg-Power power supply (also powers two 3.5" IDE hard drives mounted internally)

- Aux slot:  1MB RamWorks II
- Slot 1:  Apple Workstation (LocalTalk) Card
- Slot 2:  Apple Super Serial Card II (modem)
- Slot 3:  PCPI 6MHz Appli-Card (Z80 CP/M)
- Slot 4:  Apple Mouse Card
- Slot 5:  Apple 3.5" SuperDrive Controller (two drives)
- Slot 6:  Apple Disk ][ Controller (two drives)
- Slot 7:  ///SHH Systeme MicroDrive IDE controller (connects to IDE drives)
- SMT No-Slot Clock
