Any Transwarp (//e) users out there?

I checked the FAQ, and a file on the Traswarp I found that unfortunately
only contained GS info. I haven't been able to locate anything pointing at
any archive or anything, so please help. Thank you.


I just got a //e, and was wondering a few things about the Transwarp card
that came with it. I already found, by experimentation, that by hitting the
ESC twice as "Transwarp" is displayed at powerup I can switch it back to low
gear. (so to speak) 

First, just how fast is this thing? I can't find a clock on the card, so I'm
guessing it uses the 3.5MHz signal from the slots. (am I even close?)

Second, am I right about using ESC twice at bootup being the only way to slow
it down? After I hit CONTROL-RESET, it speeds back up, just like it says when
you use the ESC trick. ;^) Is there a POKE or anything I can use from BASIC, or
assy? How do I speed it back up? Is CONTROL-RESET and power-off/on the only way
to change the speed? (I'd rather not have to cycle the power every time...)

Third, what are the switches for? What are the options? (this one is important)
I know there are two sets of eight swiches, but I really need to know. I assume
that some are for disabling the accellorator when accessing certain slots, like
the floppy controller, etc. I really appreciate this one!

Fourth, it has 256k onboard, is this used in a "shadow" fashion, or can I use the
extra RAM somehow? A lot of programs that came with this machine are configured
for the 1Meg Ramworks II card in the AUX slot. Is it possible to use both the
Transwarp's 256k and the Ramworks II's 1Meg in addition to the 64k onboard?

Finally, is there a disk that should have come with the Transwarp? Drivers, or
utilities or something? (I don't have one, or a manual)

Thanks a bunch!
