Hi Rich,

I was able to get a 4 MHZ ZIP II which is what I was after at the start.

I also got a 3.6 MHZ Transwarp as a back-up while I was at-it.

According to the Wikipedia Article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_accelerators

The March 1986 Apple Assembly Line (volume 6, number 6) "determined that the 
TransWarp was faster than either the McT SpeedDemon or Titan Accelerator //e 
when running the same applications, even though all three cards ran at the 
same 3.58 MHz native speed."

Also the Wikipedia article mentions the Transwarp's other features such as 
configurable slot speeds (like the ZIP chip) and mentions that while the 
Titan Accelerator //e solved an auxilliary memory problem that the earlier 
version had, it did not offer high speed memory in the auxilliary bank while 
the Transwarp did.

There are of course other faster accelerators but I think I am all 
accelerated-out for the time being and I think these two and my Microdrive 
satisfy my requirements for upgrading this puppie for the present with the 
exception of a Z80 card.

I need to save some play money for my Commodore 64 restoration which is 
next, and after that I want to get a GS together again to install my Orca C 
on, then onto a Commodore 128.

Henry has mentioned that he has a Microdrive/Turbo when I get the GS going.

The C64 and C128 will get MMC Replay Cards which are somewhat of the same 
idea. The C128 already comes with a Z80.

Why? I don't know.

Bill
