The reason that the Transwarp comes with 256K of RAM is because it's cheaper
to put one set of 256K RAMs on it than it is to put 2 sets of 64K RAMs.

The Transwarp uses this memory to accelerate both main & aux memory.

It can serve as a memory card.  It will replace the 16K language card in an
Apple ][/][+.  //e, of course, has the equiv. of the lang card built in.

I believe that I've read that if you have software to make Saturn or Titan
(I believe) memory cards (which emulate multiple 16K banks) run as a RAMdisk,
it will also work on a Transwarp.

The card isn't expandable.  Comes w/ 256K, stays w/ 256K.
