It _might_ be able to keep up if you have the new ASIC.  The main problem
would be the SRAMs (see below).

:  What about SRAM?  Would 15ns be fast enough?  Thanks!

It's not really the speed of the SRAMs as much as the quality.  I
purchased some fast 15ns SRAMs from one of the brands you should
stay away from (d'oh), and my Zip won't get past 10Mhz reliably.
Gabe tested my card/'816 with his secret special blend of SRAMs
and it did 14 no prob.  You might want to send him some email since
he used to upgrade peoples zips for a good price.  His address is
mrbutch@netcom.com last I knew.
