[comp.sys.apple] Laser and Zip chip combination...

dwelliver@pro-hysteria.cts.com (System Administrator) (08/21/89)

  I was wondering, will a Laser 128 support a Zip chip, or would they be
completely incompatible with each other? I want to know if it would be cheaper
to buy an EX, or see if I can use a Zip Chip (or Rocket Chip for that
matter).. Thanks..

I don't see why it wouldn't work.  I think it even says in the Zip Chip adds
that it works with the Laser.

	I would suggest you wait for the LASER 128 EX/2 to become available
	in the USA....

	It has been out in Canada for about three months now and I got one of
	the first ones here....

	It's just *GREAT* it has the three speed processor of the EX, but also
	has built-in Prodos compatible clock, battery-backed control panel,
	Midi card, and the disk drive slot will take daisy chained drives of
	5.25 and/or 3.5 size!

	I would most certainly recommend it.
