     There seem to be several postings about TWGS (TransWarp GS) error codes,
some going back several years. Yet, as far as I know, there has never been any
listing or explanation of such codes or, even, verification that they exist.

     Error 0402 appears to be a IIgs QuickDraw II "cannot Reset" error. What's
odd is that the error seems not to be listed for any QuickDraw II routine and,
according to Apple's Toolbox Reference (Vol II), the error is "Never Used".

     It seems likely that the error would be associated with Tool 0402,
QuickDraw Startup. Perhaps, the IIgs was trying to set up QuickDraw II memory
space and the TWGS had a cache problem-- possibly via a loose or defective RAM
chip. Anyway, it looks like either the 0402 ("cannot Reset") error got reported
or the Tool number got used as the error code.
