- I would think this to be possible. You would not need every pin in every
- ZIP, as the address lines and RAS CAS and all that are duplicated, you'd need
- only plug into one ZIP for those. You would need four data lines from each
- zip socket. I dont think you would need all 72 lines.
- My present position is hardware engineer for a company that does space
- station work, and I will look into the 3000 schematics and see if this works.
- Be great to put in over 16 Meg.
- So though EDO may not do, maybe a 60NS conventional SIM will do.
- Ill look into 'unzipping' the 3000s.
