Re: Error #4 on TransWarp
These are the three articles I've found which mention the error:

Does anyone out there know what an error 4 is when you run the Transwarp
self test? My system is running great, but when I power on and hit the "0"
key to tell the Transwarp to do its selftest it says
16 bit option passed
ram test passed
error 4
Any ideas? out there besides the 900 number at AE telling me its broke. It
ain't broke as far as I can tell as all other software runs fine the system
stays on all the time running Proline with never a crash. I've tried
runinning some games, all fine, Appleworks, fine also and //e selftest all
is
well. I hate it when it says its broke and I can't see what it is doing
wrong!
Thanks,
Jerry

I do not know why the manual fails to mention the self test.
Yes - mine sometimes shows 3.2 but usually 3.3. Mine also fails the timing
test
with an error #4 unless I set it to 1MHz (this may be because of my //e
being
a 50Hz PAL model).

No difference - the 9 code just falls through into the 0 code.

Actually, 64k of the memory on the TransWarp is never used. 64k =
motherboard Ram, 64k = 1st bank of Aux ram, and 16k of third bank is
used for ROM.
The #9, sans copyright screen test was put in there for the in house
testers for some reason, I don't remember quite why.
As for the error #4, that happened with a few different (non RamWorks)
memory cards. I wouldn't worry about unless you are having other
problems.
The 3.2/3.3 speed rating is the average speed which acounts for the
board slowing down to 1 mhz to access your slots.
