Yup.. AE sent a letter (in May or earlier) to all AE dealers that they were
pulling the Transwarp II from the market and had scrapped the development of
the Transwarp III, and a similar product was available from Zip Technologies
known as the Zip Chip. AE even arranged for dealers with existing orders for
TW's of any variety (minus TWGS) to get a discount on the dealer pricing for
the Zip Chip.s
 
The TWII lasted a few weeks. the TWIII NEVER EXISTED.. (and no, it never
will). 

But the Transwarp I (or "The Transwarp") still exists. Is still sold. Is still
serviced.. and now has a really low price attached to it. Not as cheap as as
the Zip Chip though.
