A nice find. There is a TransWarpGS control panel out there (I forget if
it's a CDA or GS/OS NDA)for setting the speed, and in your case I think the
cache can be twiddled. There really isn't much to the card other than making
the system "fast" or "slow"; the ZipGS by comparison can have the speed
ratcheded up in MHz increments. The TWGS should embed a CDA when it's
installed. That's about it IIRC. As far as moving it from one IIGS to
another, just keep it in slot 3 and plug it into the CPU slot, actually the
CPU cable is so short I think you have no choice but to plug it into slot 3.




If you are willing to part with either, let me know, I'm in the market for
both.

This message written: Monday, 20 June 2005 13:42:22 PDT

I snagged an Apple IIgs out of a GoodWill bin today. Grabbed
it because it had two "interesting" cards installed.

The first is a Transwarp GS with 32k Cache II installed.

The second is a GS RAM Ultra.

As I remember from when I bought my original IIgs to supplement
my IIe, these cards were big $$ items. Seems odd to pick them up
for $5 for the bunch, but, oh well!

After Googling around until my eyes blurred over, I can find almost
no useful info on these cards. Does anyone on this list know of a
source of info on how to set up and use these cards? I would really
like to be able to use the Transwarp GS in my original machine. I expect
it needs some driver software to get it up and running.

Any help appreciated.

Ken
