    Unfortunately, no. The TransWarp GS accelerator disappeared when 
Applied Engineering went bankrupt in 1994, and REMcorp discontinued 
their Zip GS accelerator about a year ago (Alltech did have some of 
their cards in stock but ran out and hasn't gotten any others since).

    You'll have to search for them used either here or over on Delphi.
They're quickly becoming rare and increasingly more difficult to find
as the months go by.

    Speaking of accelerators, I happen to have a TransWarp GS now 
sitting around which I have no use for. I purchased it a few weeks
back, but haven't been able to get it working despite its previous
owner claiming it did. He doesn't seem very interested in taking 
it back so if anyone wants it for parts (or think they can get it
working) they're welcome to it. I'll never part with my 15 MHz
Zip GS board though, I can't imagine using my GS without it. ;-)
