  24.  
  25. Yes.  However, the ones labeled "Model 4000" and "Model 8000" will NOT
  26. work with a RamFast.  Other than that, no problems.

  28. >     Is the AE TransWarp any better?
  29.  
  30. Not at all.  The TransWarp only goes up to 3.6mhz, whereas the Zips go
  31. 4 and 8mhz.

  37. My advice: If the machine you have now does what you want it to do, then
  38. you don't need any other.  If, however, you are using it for a 2nd 
  39. machine, then by all means, get the Zip Chip at least.  As far as cheap
  40. hard drives go, you'll be doing good to find a 20meg for less than $150.
