My Transwarp cards work in any IIe or II+ or II I've installed them in
including the platinum IIe.
Have you tried the Transwarps self test? You can do the self test by
pressing 9 or 0(zero) when the Transwarp logo comes on the screen.
What version is the EPROM? If the stickers are missing from the
EPROM you can get the version from the self test screen where it says
"Transwarp Test".
I'd think most likely  the problem lies with the platinum IIe though.
Does it pass it's self test?
