Titan Accelerator II

[spec@vax2.concordia.ca (Mitchell Spector)]

    I picked up some odds and ends on the weekend (still going through
it) and one interesting item is a Titan Accelerator II card. It appears
it may be faulty though, and so I have some questions about it:

    First off, how did this accelerator differ from the TransWarp and
ZipChip in terms of functionality and compatibility? I would like to
install it in my Apple IIe and use with recent software, like ProTERM.
There is a bank of eight switches and seven jumpers (all are shorted
with a block), can someone provide me with information on these?

    As for working with the card, when I plug it in most software will
refuse to run. An "Unable to load ProDOS" message appears if I try and
start most things up (removing the boards fixes this). Also odd, if I
press control-reset, I see garbage off the to side of the screen, like
this:

                                                   `
                                                   `
                                                   `
]

    Is the board not properly configured or does it sound defective?
All the chips are socketed (minus the silver "Titan Technologies" box
in the corner) but I'm not sure which chips would be at fault. There
appears to be 150ns 64Kx1 chips, which I replaced with equal chips,
but that just made things worse so I put them back. Is it even worth
the effort in repairing? I vagely recall a dicussion about how it was
incompatible with alot of software and slot cards. Ah well, at least
it came with the original box and slip cover, should I just keep it
as a collectable. ;)
