Zip modification file error



ATTENTION:
 
Thos of you who had 14 mhz chips sent out in the first batch also received
a disk with files including instructions on how to modify your Zip for
14mhz speed.  In the file Zip.Instr there is an error!  Not a fatal one,
mind you, but one that will prevent successful completion of the
modification.
 
In Step 13, there is the line:
 
If using a 1/2 size TTL oscillator or a CMOS oscillator, it goes in the
upper four holes of the socket (1, 4, 11, 14).
 
This SHOULD read:
 
If using a 1/2 size TTL oscillator or a CMOS oscillator, it goes in the
LOWER four holes of the socket (4, 7, 8, 11).
 
Fortunately, installing this in error will not damage the Zip or the
oscillator, but all you will get on the screen when you power on is a
checkerboard pattern.
 
Sorry for the error, I was not paying attention (and I actually had a Zip
Guru check the file over as well, and he didn't catch it either).
