Your lucky I bouhgt one of them things!  Not many people have them, I guess. 
But you SHOULDN'T ignore the dip switches on the Transwarp.  THe problem is
that in the manual, when they say CLOSED it refers to UP on the board, unless
you are adjusting the LAST switch of any given bank.  SO it is screwed up. 
But, what you should do is set all your slots to fast, and then unset them
when they dont work, (and also the memory thing) so you get the fastest
operation faster.

Heh, I didn't even know you COULD press esc to disable it..
