The PC transporter is a card that allows one to run really old IBM PC software
on a Apple IIgs.  It requires PC disk drives that are shipped with it as well
as some software.  I am told that it is about equivilent to an old XT or AT.
The Zip GS is an accelerator (it speeds up the computer.)  I have never used
either card so I don't know anything more.  I would guess that the
color-killer is part of the PC Transporter.
