I am now wondering if the A5000 would take an internal ZIP Drive?
It is an ATAPI device not a ATA and so there would need to be ATAPI drivers for internal IDE controller. Maybe with Wizzo IDEFS ROM?

Good point. I haven't played with the Wizzo ROM as yet.

Is that a 25MHz ARM3 CPU upgrade?

- MEMCsocket.JPG (408.56 KiB) Viewed 9565 times
Socket fitted.
- ARM.JPG (348.46 KiB) Viewed 9565 times
ARM2 removed and solder pads cleaned.
- ARMsocket.JPG (472.24 KiB) Viewed 9565 times
Socket fitted.
- ARM3.JPG (498.24 KiB) Viewed 9565 times
ARM3 fitted and MEMC1 chip fitted back in its socket.

Good ! Nothing's broken and everything works.
What a difference in responsiveness... It's day and night.

Socketing the MEMC? Are you thinking 8MB RAM upgrade in the Future?
