If the processor on the ZIPGS is a 7mhz(W65C816PL-7) then there's not 
much you can do except replace it with a faster 65816. If the 
processor is an 8mhz(W65C816PL-8)then you shoulbe ok for more speed.

Without getting into details it's mostly a matter of changing the 
oscillator(which sets the speed) and making sure the SRAM(cache) is 
fast enough for the speed. One other chip often needs to be changed 
to go over 12mhz. The FAQ has a bit on it and there's a pretty good 
HyperCard stack on it. Google archive should have hundreds, maybe 
thousands of postings on it. 

If you are doing an upgrade and do need details I can go over it
