On a TransWarp GS unit, the CPU is ON the card.

Maybe the card's CPU went kaput.

Do a web search for "Western Design Center" and order
yourself a new 14Mhz 65C816 chip.  Replace the one on
the TWGS.  Plug in a new 50Mhz oscillator (the shiny thing
on the upper back corner of the TWGS) and your IIGS
may well come back to life again at a full 12.5Mhz (with
GS software, the apparent speed will seem like that of
Windows 95 in all the things that count....like opening and
closing of windows in Finder, etc).

By the way, this is the Western Design Center in Mesa.
