Re: transwarp gs running at 14MHZ?



<< Though few users have done it, some have posted remarkable successes.

The Transwarp IIe is pretty easy to accelerate.  You'll need a 14Mhz 65C02
available from Western Design Center.  You'll need a faster oscillator, 4x
the speed you want the CPU to run.  The hardest part of the upgrade is to
replace all the RAM chips with faster ones.  I think the Transwarp IIe uses
regular RAM, not SRAM, which is harder to find at faster speeds, but the
speed of these has improved drastically, so such an upgrade should not
be that hard.

Are the RAM chips on the Transwarp IIe socketed or soldered?  If they are
soldered, you need to be comfortable with soldering and desodering to
replace them and upgrade your Transwarp IIe.

Thankfully, everything is socketed!  Now, I just need a parts list to go
shopping with.
