Yes.

Sorry to hear, but I really need my ZipGS. ;)

Anyway, you might check out ///SHH Systeme, located in Germany. I
think they carry TransWarp cache (and ROM?) upgrades...

Btw, ///SHH mentioned they were working on ZipGS accessories (for the
ZipGS' on board socket?), so getting a ZipGS now might turn out to be
a good investment...

So turning the IRQ on doesn't help? Strange... Btw, yes, the Apple
High Speed SCSI card is a very solid piece of hardware. I had one
myself. Too bad it can't write in 1:1 interleave - the ONLY reason I
got a RamFAST, but I don't like the board that much. The firmware
sucks completely, poor support and just way too many revisions causing
the user to upgrade every half a year. Well, and they still haven't
got things right as it seems... :(

Uh, must be one of the first TransWarps shipped. Hm, I don't know if
this makes a difference.
