Interesting, and I'm not disputing your analysis but I'll add that card-based
accelerators seem to be more reliable than Zip Chips. With their fragile pins,
internal cache failures (and a few other issues) they are hardly a panacea.

Tony suggested to me that the ZipGS might be able to work in a //e, because it
lacks the voo-doo the TWGS has onboard. It would just take some tweaking of the
ASIC possibly.

What do you think of that?
