On the ROM 01 IIgs, use either control panel's "Slots" option.  You
will need to set Slot 1 or Slot 2 to "Your Card", depending on where
you have AppleTalk connected to the IIgs.
You must also set slot 7 to "AppleTalk" (as opposed to "Your Card").

The IIgs must have at least 768k to run on AppleTalk (preferably
more), so you might have problems with those 512k machines.

That may also cause problems.  The ZIPGS provides a facility to slow
down the computer slightly to allow AppleTalk to work properly
(probably causes timing problems if the computer is running too fast).
There may be a similar option for the TransWarp.  If nothing else
works, try disabling it completely.
