Point your web browser to:

http://ground.isca.uiowa.edu/apple2/apple16/Hypermedia/Hypercard/

and download my TransWarp GS upgrade guide (TWGSupgrade.SHK or
TWGSupgrade.BSQ).  For a small price, less than $30 US, you can
upgrade that TWGS.  No ROM or GAL changes needed.

HyperCard Player run-time version also in here.

You can always steal the high speed 65C816 from your Zip to
test how fast your TWGS can go.  Try scrolling through an AWGS
word processing document.  I think an 8K TWGS can perform
faster than a 16K Zip of the same speed.
