It was called the Transwarp II and was designed for the Apple //e. I have one
in my //e - FLIES! It is a 65C02 on a card that can reside in slot3 without
killing the AUX Ram / 80 col feature of my Ramworks III. It derives its clock
from the 7.14MHz video signal, so it turns a 1MHz //e into a 7MHz and the
difference is VERY perctible. There were very few of these cards made due to
the Zip lawsuit, but I had mine booked long before AE actually shipped, so I
think I got one of the 1st cards that made it to Canada...
