Interesting.  I just came into possession of Zip GSX 1.01 and noticed the lack 
of those chips.  Wasn't sure if it was practical to upgrade it or not.  Can 
anyone else provide some data points on this?  Henry Courbis?  What's your 
experience with v1.01 vs. 1.0.2 Zips?

Somehow I doubt it's just a matter of installing the two 74F parts. 
Somewhere, something else must have changed (jumpers?  traces cut?).
