I asked questions recently regarding the zip and how to control it and
received a bunch of mail, Zippy (GREAT program), and the following list of
registers and info on how to change them...
I can't remember who sent it to me as it was a binscii'd file and I didn't
save the message it unpacked from.

ZipChip GS Special Registers            Ex ZIP Technology, 12 October 1990

Registers must be unlocked before they can be accessed (see $C05A).  Locking
them will re-enable the annunciators.

Writing to any I/O location $C058-$C05F (whether registers are locked or
unlocked) will reset delay in progress.

$C058 R   No operation

$C058 W   Write any value to force poweron/reset bit to COLD (forces next
reset to restore ZIP registers to defaults/switch settings).

$C059 R/W 76543210
          *.......  Bank Switch Language Card cache disable=1/enable=0?
          .*......  Paddle delay (5 ms) disable=0/enable=1  $C070/$C020
          ..*.....  External delay (5 ms) disable=0/enable=1
          ...*....  Counter delay (5 ms) disable=0/enable=1 $C02E/$C07E
          ....*...  CPS follow disable=0/enable=1
          .....*..  Last Reset warm?              READ ONLY
          ......*.  Hardware DMA                  READ ONLY
          .......*  non-GS (0)/GS (1)             READ ONLY

$C05A R   76543210
          ****....  Current ZIP Speed, 0=100%, 1=93.75%, ..., F=6.25%
          ....1111

$C05A W   Write values as follows:
          $5x       Unlock ZIP registers (must write 4 times)
          $Ax       Lock ZIP registers
          other     Force ZIP to follow system clock (i.e. disable card)

$C05B R   76543210
          *.......  1msclk - clock with 1 ms period
          .*......  cshupd - Tag data at $C05F updated (read $C05F to reset)
          ..*.....  Bank Switch Language Card cache (0), don't (1)
          ...*....  Board disable - 0=enabled, 1=disabled
          ....*...  delay in effect (0=ZIP, 1=Slow)
          .....*..  rombank (0/1) - not in development version
          ......**  Cache RAM size (00=8k, 01=16k, 10=32k, 11=64k)

$C05B W   Write any value to force ZIP to current speed (i.e. enable card)

$C05C R/W 76543210
          *******.  Slot 7-1 delay enable (all slots 52-54 ms)
          .......*  Speaker delay enable (5 ms)

$C05D R   Current 65816 bank

$C05D W   76543210
          ****....  Set ZIP speed, 0=100%, 1=93.75%, ..., F=6.25%
          ....****  Don't care

$C05E R   Read last Tag data written and force the next write to create a
trash
tag value.

$C05E W   No operation

$C05F R   Read last Tag data written and reset cshupd.  Note: apparently any
write to a ZIP register (unlocked) will clear cshupd, but cshupd says that
this
location must be read.

$C05F W   No operation
