P8 ZipGS control program.
The ZipGS was a popular accelerator card for the Apple
IIgs. With an 8MHz card, you could get an overall
improvement of about 2x. If you wanted to deactivate the
acceleration or twiddle features like the joystick
delay, you had to be boot into GS/OS to run their
application. I didn't like that much, so I threw this
together. One of the cool things about it is the user
interface, which changes the text and background color
registers when the scan line reaches certain points.
This gives you more than one text color on the text
screen simultaneously. It flashes badly if you have
quarter-second AppleTalk interrupts enabled, but then
nothing's perfect. :-) Source code is included. This
program is in the public domain. Written December 1991
