Yes, it is dependant on the version of ProDOS, but,
it will still only map 4 volumes on a drive in slot 5.
The first 2 to slot 5 and 3rd and 4th to slot 2.

I don't think they made a Transwarp until IIe. I'll
keep my eyes open. My SpeedDemon was one of 3 that I've
seen listed on eBay.

I'm working on a CF controller for the IIc. It will go
inside and attach the same way the Ram card would. I've
got a prototype PCB designed and am waiting for funds from
other sources, hint-hint: ram cards, to come in. :)

The IIs will be the next to be worth the bucks.
I'd rather run a good IIe and IIgs and be able
to run a lot of stuff, than mess with the most
vintage of the Apple IIs, and only be able to
run some software. Everything that runs on a II
can run on a IIe, IIc, IIgs, why fight it.

If it's got 48K, a language card of some kind, an 80 col
card, and a couple disk drives, then other than hacking
it, you have taken it as far as it can go really. Please
tell me you aren't wearing your baby shoes. LMAO!!!!
Just kidding guy. LOL
: Got $350.00 ?
: Yes I do. I have offered more than $200.00 for a TransWarp

I'll check around and see what I can scrounge up for you.
