From the usual place for Apple II info on the web, there's a link to http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/transwarp1.html which details Transwarp I switches, etc. I quote from that: --- snip From: jeff.brielmaier@yob.com (Jeff Brielmaier) Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple2 Subject: need information on Transwarp I ME>I just purchased (via the net) a used-but-working Transwarp I ME>accelerator for my Apple //e.

Block 1 / Switches 1-7 : Turn the corresponding switch OPEN for any slot in which you have a "Language Card" type memory expansion card [It's unlikely that you will have LC-type memory cards in your //e.] Block 2 / Switches 1-7 : Turn the corresponding switch OPEN for any slot that has an adapter card installed in it that MUST be accessed at 1 MHz at all times. Any slot with a 3.5/5.25 floppy controller must have the slot for it's slot set to OPEN. [According to the AE docs, serial and clock cards also need to be set to OPEN. But, my experience w/ Super Serial Cards indicates that it is not needed to set the switch to OPEN.] Switch 8 on both switch blocks determine the speed that TransWarp initally powers up at: Block 1 = OPEN / Block 2 = OPEN : 3.6 MHz CLOSED OPEN : 1.7 MHz [Don't care] CLOSED: 1.0 MHz ME>Also, is there some way to force the Transwarp'ed //e to boot at ME>normal speed on occasion, without removing the Transwarp accelerator? 1) At power-up, press . This will disable Transwarp until next power cycle. --- snip Nathan Mates -- <*> Nathan Mates http://www.visi.com/~nathan/ <*> # What are the facts?
