Bad news: New Zip is
weird, gotta check the specs before I try it. Connectors are the same and it came with the same AutoDetect
™ cable but none of the icons on the back look anything like the
ZipPlus I thought I'd killed that it was slated to replace.
Good news: Old Zip lives!
TERRIBLE NEWS: I think I may have finally managed to kill a card by static discharge. Dunno for sure, but the v4.4 ROMs on the TPD card I've been messing around with now cause the identical bomb on both cards and the ©1989v3.3 ROMs hang the system at the same point on both cards. With any luck, this means I've only killed the one set of ROMs and the other won't hang a System 6 install . . . NOT holding my breath at this point, time to move on to another project for a while.
Good news: (sort of) ROMS on the Radius 16 Accelerator only support System 6 and I ran that on the setup I'm trying to re-create until I finally broke down and bought the
7.0 Upgrade Kit in May of 1992. Can you believe I had to send them the old System 6 ROMs in 1992! Like what could I (or anyone else) have even used them in if I'd wanted to at that point? :
Anybody know of a source for a 6.0.8 installer disk set? Love the 7.1 set I got on eBay, but searching there turns up bopkes.
