[comp.sys.apple] Rocket Chips & Shipping dates

Bruce_Kahn@maytag.ceo.dg.COM (05/23/88)

  I was told yesterday afternoon by the "head honcho" that they will 
be shipping Rocket Chips in 5-6 weeks to dealers.  The ones they had 
at Applefest were "socketed prototypes".  I checked it out and it 
seemd that they put some kind of cover over the actual prototype (the 
covering was loose and moved back and forth freely).
  On a similar note, tons of systems were powered by Zip Chips.  They 
were telling people that if you had an old order in you could pick 
the chip up "today, right here".  Some people actually did, amazing...

Speaking of accelerator chips, did the Zip chips finally start shipping? If so,
how are they -- do they live up to their claims?

Now what about these Rocket chips? I've probably been under a hole in the Apple
world, since I've never even HEARD of these guys...
