Zip Chip //e & //c Notes

The Zip Chip is an accelerator for the Apple ][+, //e or //c. It plugs in the motherboard replacing the existing 6502 or 65C02. It is 65C02 based for compatibility with the enhanced //e and //c. Adding this to an un enhanced computer will simply ad the 65C02 to the computer, but NOT give a fully 'enhanced' computer.

Features:

Easy, simple installation, needs no slot.

This is not a DMA compatible accelerator. To use this with a RAMFast or Apple High Speed SCSI card the DMA option on those cards must be switched to off.

TheZip Chip II 8000 for the Apple //e or //c is NOT COMPATIBLE with either Publish It 3 or 4. The program will not even run if the chip is in the computer. Disabled or not. This is ONLY APPLICABLE with the NEWEST VERSION OF THE ZIP CHIP. This one has two SRAM's showing on the underside of the chip. Older versions of the Zip Chip for the //e & //c do NOT EXHIBIT this problem. Publish-It! 3 or 4 do not have any problems with any other accelerators.
