I received the following response to a query about how one finds out
what speed his TWGS really is:  "If you go into the Control Panel and
check the Transwarp GS's speed, it should tell you how fast it can
really go.  It'll show you 6.25 MHz if it's that speed, etc."

(I don't know who that came from:  somehow the sender's address gets
lost on stuff posted here.)

I don't know what version of a TWGS you have, but the Control Panel in
mine certainly isn't that informative.  All it says for speed is
"normal" or "Transwarp" (or "fast" or slow").  The "about TWGS" display
says it is TW GS version 8S, revision 1.5w, if that means anything to
anyone.

p.s.  -- anyone know if the TWGS control panel interacts properly with
the new desktop control panel (NDA) under system disk 5.0 or if AE will
release a NDA instead of a CDA to do the same thing?

p.p.s.  -- as long as I'm talking about AE, there has recently been some
traffic about whether AE was going to upgrade the PCT in any way, the
responses all seeming negative.  Does that mean also that one shouldn't
expect them to tidy up the software so that the Apple-side drivers work
more cleanly with ProDos/GSOS and the Finder?  (I'd like to be able to
disable the driver for the AE 5.25 drive since I hardly ever use it and
it is constantly polled by the Finder, but I can't do that without
disabling the RAMAEPC driver too, which also has the bug a couple of us
have noticed about reinitializing itself after a couple of catalog's
from kermit -- not that anyone has yet pinned down where the bug is.)
