In my last post about the Zip Chip, I wrote "it won't interfere with 
peripherals -- the major problem with Transwarp."  I have received some 
messages from satisfied Transwarp users.  In general, the Transwarp seems like 
a fairly reliable piece of equipment.  There have been letters published in 
"Open Apple", though, about flakiness caused by the Transwarp card.

In one letter, someone was having problems with Transwarp and a mouse card.  
Either card would work if the other was not in the machine, but they wouldn't 
work together.

In the 3/87 issue (page 3.87), one user, who used a Transwarp along with a 
Checkmate card with 768K, said that three copy-protected disks were destroyed 
when he tried to disable Transwarp by pressing escape during booting.

Tom Weishaar replied that he was having some strange problems with Appleworks, 
and when he replaced his Transwarp card with a Speedemon card, the problem 
disappeared.
