Re: Semi-functional TransWarpGS?

[Wayne Stewart <waynes@intergate.bc.ca>]

Is this an accellerator you just purchased or one that you've had a
while?
Will the IIgs boot ok if a regular 65816 is placed in the socket.?
Will it boot System software if the IIgs is set to 1mhz (I know it'll
take
almost forever but it tells you something about the card)
Caution: Those pins on the TransWarp cable are very fragile, many people

have damaged them.
