I b

I bought the 3/72 model and it crashes some but not all the time.   I called
ZIP tech support and they told me tgo reseat the chips ---- which I did ---
but its back to krashin' time again.   Krashed twice tonight so far.

Nasty crashes too --- sudden crash into the monitor and all data are lost.
Reboot from scratch.

Since it is only a week old, I will ship it back tomorrow.
