Get a TTL Output Oscillator rated 4 times the speed you want the Zip to
run. For example, if you want 8MHz, get a 32MHz osc. For 10MHz, use
a 40MHz.
You will actually probably need a 30MHz, a 32MHz, a 36MHz, and a 40Mhz
oscillator:
Part #'s: OSC30.0, OSC32.0, OSC36.0, and OSC40.0
because you want to test the Zip to see how fast it will go. It may
top out below 10MHz. If it does, then you need a faster CPU and
faster cache RAM if you want 10MHz or faster.
---------------------------
You can get 64K's of fast cache from JDR Microdevices:
Get 4 Static Cache RAM chips,
Part #: HM62256LP-70
Price: $4.69 per chip (you need 4 of these for 64K)
You can get a 14MHz fast CPU from:
The Western Design Center (http://www.wdesignc.com)
Mesa, AZ 85213
Part #: W65C816SPL-14 (for Zip GS or Transwarp GS accelerator
cards for the Apple IIgs computer)
Price: $19.80 + $4.00 shipping & handling
(Western Design Center requires payment by Money Order)
Once you get the cache chips and the CPU, remove the 4 (or 2) old cache
chips and plug in the 4 new ones, making sure the orientation of the
new chips is the same as the old ones were (you've just replaced slow
32K of cache with fast 64K cache). Remove the CPU chip and plug in
the new CPU. Finally, experiment with different oscillators, replacing
the original, and find the fastest one that works.
DIP switch settings have to be changed when changing cache size.
There are two banks of DIP switches on the Zip card.
Switches 7 and 8 on DIP bank 1 determine the cache size. Bank 1 is
the bank of DIP switches nearer the top of the card.
The settings are as follows.
size switch 7 switch 8
------------------------------------------
8K on on
16K on off
32K off on
64K off off
