- I asked Zip about this the other day and got some info. Apparently they have
- already sent out a flier to registered owners, and the response has been
- overwhelming. You have to order it now, and then call them back in a couple
- of weeks to see if they're ready to do the work on your card. The cost is
- $339 + $7.75 s/h, plus the cost of the SRAM upgrade if you need it (if you
- already have 64K, they will replace the chips with 15ns ones for free). They
- have to replace the CPU, oscillator, and "a few other little things" that
- they wouldn't describe. Apparently they have a 12 MHz upgrade too, but why
- bother?
-
- Is AE upgrading the TransWarp too?
