Re: TranswarpGS & GS/OS 6.0.1

 Edhel chanted almost zenlike:

 E| I've got a version 1.5 TranswarpGS with (AFAIK) all the original

Okay, from my uninformed meanderings with an 8k 7MHz TWGS, ROM 1.5...

-Do you have a RamKeeper?  Lose it.
-Do you have a RamFast?  Set the RF's DMA to No and TWGS to Yes.
-The RamFast manual describes one particular revision which the TWGS
  is not compatable with (we've discussed in CSA2 recently).
-Did you set the CDA's settings <wrestle wrestle> AppleTalk/IRQ to On?
-You didn't change the Control Panel's Slots setting, right?  Don't.
-Is the card and the chipthing seated squarely?  Some cards had bad
  ribbon cables; the FAQ describes what to look for and what to do.
-Since you're just starting up, it's not a heat problem (yet).

There can be a whole bunch of reasons stuff isn't booting.  Don't give
up just yet.  It could be the chipthing or some setting.
