   Recommended slot to install in: 3. From the usual place for Apple
II info on the web, there's a link to
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/transwarp1.html  which details
Transwarp I switches, etc. I quote from that:

Block 1 / Switches 1-7 : Turn the corresponding switch OPEN for any slot
in which you have a "Language Card" type memory expansion card
[It's unlikely that you will have LC-type memory cards in your
//e.]

Block 2 / Switches 1-7 : Turn the corresponding switch OPEN for any slot 
that has an adapter card installed in it that MUST be accessed at 1 
MHz at all times.

Any slot with a 3.5/5.25 floppy controller must have the slot for 
it's slot set to OPEN.  [According to the AE docs, serial and clock
cards also need to be set to OPEN.  But, my experience w/ Super 
Serial Cards indicates that it is not needed to set the switch to 
OPEN.]

Switch 8 on both switch blocks determine the speed that TransWarp
initally powers up at:

Block 1 = OPEN  / Block 2 = OPEN : 3.6 MHz
CLOSED             OPEN : 1.7 MHz
[Don't care]         CLOSED: 1.0 MHz

ME>Also, is there some way to force the Transwarp'ed //e to boot at

1) At power-up, press <Esc>.  This will disable Transwarp until next power
cycle.
