Hello Steve.

I have a couple of ZIP GSX boards that are version 1.0.1. Since i have
had them i had always wondered what the difference was between this
version and the 1.0.2 versions that came out later.
My question is what did the logic chips do?
Interesting. I just came into possession of Zip GSX 1.01 and noticed the lack of those chips. Wasn't sure if it was practical to upgrade it or not. Can anyone else provide some data points on this? Henry Courbis? What's your experience with v1.01 vs. 1.0.2 Zips?

Well, I did notice a few differences between the 1.01 and 1.02. Thought I had some pics of the 1.01 but it seems I don't. :-/

ZIP Technologies seemed to be one of those companies what never wasted anything, including PCBs. Take the ZIP DRIVE for instance: http://www.downloads.reactivemicro.com/Public/Apple%20II%20Items/Hardware/ZIP_DRIVE/Pics/DSCN0475.JPG

That was a completely different company.  Zip Technologies went
bankrupt.  The Zip Drive was made by iomega.

Then, no offense, why are they both on the same ad?

My mistake--I've never seen that Zip Drive, but thought that the
popular iomega Zip Drive was being discussed.  I should have looked
at the photo!  ;-(
