That sounds like a decent $ maker for the founder/makers. To be sure, I would suggest polling comp.sys.apple2 and settting up an eBay store. The demand is probably there to sell a couple of hundred cards at least. I have given up looking on eBay because used cards in unknown condition are always priced sky-high, my hope is to find one at a thrift store. And there are many folks like me....
Then again, if your friend is smart enough to build a TransWarpGS (as well as a company)IIGS, he probably already knows all of the above. :) -----Original Message----- From: Geoff Strickler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Apple2list" <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 09 Aug 2005 14:24:15 -0500 Subject: Re: Transwarp Card > The designer of the TransWarp/TransWarpGS and the founder of AE are > friends > of mine.
