Well, about half an hour after I posted the origional article, my GS
began crashing while loading GS/OS (it's scary to see the message
"Please insert the disk /HD1"!) so I tried slowing it down... no good.
It STILL crashed, at any speed. I'm thinking the Zip does something
strange to apparently slow the processor down from maximum speed.
Anyway, back in went the old crystal... :(
