I have not encountered any hardware or software problems with my Zip Chip.
(The only hardware I have that is not standard is an Alaska card, one of those
'copy cards.'  About all I use it for is the 'jump to monitor' and 'print
text screen' options.  The Zip Chip must be disabled [simply by typing ctrl-
reset and then esc] for this card to work properly.)

The Zip Chip works as advertised, and it's wonderful.  I used to wish my //e
would work as fast as the GS I used at work; now I wonder why the GS is so
sluggish!

Before you order, you might want to call the company and see what kind of wait
you should expect.  I ordered mine last October, two days after I saw the 
first ad for it.  It took 9 months and 11 days to ship.  But they claim to
have the supply problem solved.
