I am considering purchasing an accelerator for my GS. First I'd like to research the two options. Has anyone had any un-correctable problems with the ZipGS? Does it function properly with AE's products (Audio Animator, PC Transporter, DataLink Express, Vulcan 100 in particular). If anyone uses the ZipGS with any of these, please e-mail me with a short status report regarding performance. Thanks in advance. Roy LeCates lecates@chopin.udel.edu

The ZipGS is not particularly compatible with Proterm 2.2, other than that I have had not difficulties. UUCP: bkj386!pnet91!ericmcg INET: ericmcg@pnet91.cts.com

The Zip must be slowed down for transfers, I find 50% is good enough, but full speed will drop you into the monitor. I as having other problems, mainly with saving captured text to disk (binscii's et al), but this has "gotten better" with usage, I don't know why. I assume 3.0 will fix this, but I have not hear d anything about it. UUCP: bkj386!pnet91!ericmcg INET: ericmcg@pnet91.cts.com

Check your board's version number. If you have anything below version 1.02 then send it to Zip for a free upgrade. That will fix your ProTERM problems. You can paint it all kinds of pretty colors and have speakers give it glowing reviews, but abrotion is still baby killing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ gtolar@xcluud.sccsi.com <-or-> uunet!nuchat!xcluud!gtolar I didn't write the organization or path.

Sounds strange. Going off the subject of GS accelerators a little bit, I run the RocketChip in my IIe at full speed and have no problems with ProTERM. (However, you do run into timing trouble with the AppleNet BBS package; a few POKEs in ANET.FILES and ANET.UTILITIES will slow down the accelerator only during transfers.)
