I believe that ZipGS works fine with non-DMA compatible boards. I am
using an AE GS Ram Plus, which is a six meg board, but only the first
four megs are DMA compatible.  Neither my RamFast nor my ZipGSX have
any problems with it.  I think the point is that RamFAST make even
non-DMA compatible cards DMA compatible, thus saving the ZipGS from
the conflict.  (I could be wrong; often am. :)
