Yes, Zip ram comes in the form of small zip ram packages that you plug into the ram board. It is a very old type of ram and very hard to get hold of these days. It is more common with older A2000 zorro ram expansion boards.

For the A1200 you are better off sticking with SIMM based ram expansions because you can get the ram very cheaply on ebay.
