I have a TransWarp GS and have been VERY happy with it.  I believe to upgrade
the processor, all you do is pull off the piggyback chips that are mounted on
a seperate PC board, and plug in the new processor.  Also, there is a 32k ram
upgrade available now for TWGS which I believe requires you to pop out your
old RAM chips and put in new ones.  As for compatibility, I have yet to have
ANY piece of software not run correctly, from and DOS.
