Re: TransWarp ][: any info?

Roy, do you have the original TransWarp, or is it perhaps the TransWarp III?
I could have sworn that it only had 128K.

But then, it wouldn't be the first time my memory failed me . . .

In any event, that makes your (or my) 3.6 Mhz TransWarp that much faster. I
don't really have a problem with that. <g>
