03.029 After installing my ZipGS along with the ZipGS CDA and other software I've noticed that my ZipGS settings never seem to match the ones I originally set via the on-board DIP switches!?

         There are two likely explanations. One is that your interpretation of the
settings is confused due to the rather poor explanations provided in the Zip
on-disk HyperStudio 'manual'. It does not help that names/descriptions of the
settings are not quite the same in the 'manual' and in the CDA or NDA.

     For info on setting your on-board DIP switches, see question 001.

     Another possibility is that when you installed the ZipGS software, you
installed ZipInit in your SYSTEM/SYSTEM.SETUP folder. If you did, then whatever
settings ZipInit is set up for will be the settings for your ZipGS after
booting. That is, ZipInit will over-ride your DIP switch settings.

     ZipInit is intended for use on diskettes which, when booted, will set up
the ZipGS in some special way to match the software on the diskette. For
example, you might want to turn OFF the ZipGS or reduce its speed when booting
an arcade games diskette.

     The cure for unwanted influence from ZipInit is to delete it from your
SYSTEM/SYSTEM.SETUP folder.
