Skimming through comp.sys.apple, somebody's post caught my eye...

Something to do with Transwarp not being compatible with the PCT's
accessing the 5 1/4 inch transdrives....

And here I thought my Transdrive was busted, because everything else
functioned fine!

Well since I shelved my Transdrive, I had "boosted" my GS with a VULCAN,
and have also since started using the FINDER and GS/OS regularly.

Now I notice that the only efficient method of booting up my hard drive
and keeping the PCT enabled without GS/OS going nuts over the extra
drive attached is to either scream and turn off the computer or
just run off the hard drive, removing the transdrive.

This is o.k for a while. But what happens next time when I want to copy
a MS-DOS format file from a floppy to the hard drive? I can't boot up
my hard drive!

What is the solution to my problem? Well, I've been reading the previous
posts about someone monkeying with the pct system files and such, turning
the pct slot on and off. But there must be a better way!

Am I the only other person experiencing the Transwarp problems and the
GS/OS problems?  And how do I go about getting the "new" AEPC 2.0?
What problems does it solve? (Any?)

...and finally, I'm aware that if I gave up the AEPC Ram I'd be all set.
...the AEPC Ram has proven handy lately, for file transfering purposes.
I don't want to give it up if I don't have to...

Help on this matter would be appreciated!
