- Because chances are that the higher clock speeds don't conform to the more
- rigid RF specifications used in Europe and Japan. The FCC standards tend
- to be slightly more lenient than some of those others in certain areas. But
- I would be interested to see a GS tested for class B with a Zip running at
- about 15 MHz or so.. The fact that the low power Zips and RamFASTs flake
- out sometimes could very well be due to them failing class A certification
- which only specifies susceptability requirements. Since they're only selling
- components and not the final computer, I'm not sure how the FCC regs work on
- that point. I do know that any computer system used in the home that fails
- class B can get you fined $1000/day of use (after detection) and/or system
- confiscation. And companies that MAKE computers that fail class B can get
- entire shipments confiscated!
