Re: What's the best accelerator for the IIgs?



In Article #71738, Dennis Behrens <DBEHRENS@MIAMIU.BITNET>, uttered:

: Hello,
:
: I got a quick little question, what is the best accelerator for the
: Apple IIgs, is it the ZipGS or Transwarp?  Besides, which one is faster
: and has the lest number of software/hardware confilcts (somethings always
: seems to be in conflict :) ).

I have never had a problem with my Zip 10MHz/64k Cache... neither did I 
have a problem with the 8MHz one when I had it.  The Transwarp, though,
supposedly had a load of hardware/software conflicts, and is supposedly
slower than the Zip.  The Zip has a lot of things going for it, so I will
state them and recommend the zip:

     1)  It's still made and supported.
     2)  It is compatible with everything (so far).
     3)  It's cheaper (pricewise).
     4)  It uses less heat/draws less power.
     5)  It's easily upgradeable to over 14MHz.
     6)  Rumor has it that your display is much faster with it, too...

Hope that helps ya out!
