   Thank ypu Craig.  Replaced ZipGS with 65816 DIP.  Not much change.  Tested PS   
   under load.  Not good!  Disassembled PS and found blown capacitor (1000uF?) in   
   DC end.  (Reactive Micro universal power supply kit less than a year old.)  I   
   will try replacing    
   capacitor but my soldering skill sucks ;-).  My other GS (rom3) died the same   
   day.  Its old PS gave up the ghost too.  Not my day.   
      
   Take care.  Apple2-4FR.
