Was the Transwarp IIe not effectively an entire computer on a card? I read that somewhere...I can't vouch for the TW2E, but the TWGS surely is. I never saw so many things stuffed onto a 7" IF card.
Despite the chip count the TWGS wouldn't be considered a "computer on a card" because it replaces nothing but the processor. The Transwarp was different in that it replaced a lot of the computerscomponents. On startup it copied the computers ROM into it's RAM and never accessed the ROM again. Also It used it's own RAM instead of
the IIe's motherboard RAM and the first bank of auxiliary card RAM. At one time I used a TW in a II+ with no motherboard RAM in the sockets. Wayne
