I'm curious to know how the Zip chip for the Apple //GS works. Does it
access RAM and ROM at 8 Mhz, or does it simply cache memory in order to obtain
an average speed up? Also, where does it get the 8 Mhz clock signal from?
I've actually ordered a Zip chip, but while I'm waiting for it to be shipped
I thought I'd throw out this question to the hardware gurus on this
newsgroup rather than waiting for the documentation :-)
