I have tried them, and unfortunately, they didn't seem to work, for me.  I
have heard from other sources (notably Todd Whitesel) that they will work,
but only with low power SRAMS.

These do not have the same pins as the Zip Sockets, they tend to break, and
IMHO, are cheaply made.  They are a pain to get in the sockets, and overall,
I would recommend getting wide-socket Srams to go 14mhz, even though they
are only at 35ns. (Frank M. Lin said between 12.5mhz to 15mhz, there wasn't
much of a difference, so the difference between 14mhz and 14.5mhz should
really be small. :)
