[comp.sys.apple] TransWarp GS limited to Slot 3 only.

alb@cognos.UUCP (Al Belyea) (07/22/89)

Originally, Applied Engineering was advertising that the TransWarp GS card 
would fit in either slot 3 or slot 4. However, the installation manual says
that it goes in slot 3 and physical examination confirms that it will indeed
only fit in slot 3. (the ribbon to the 65816 is too short for anything else)

Does anyone know why they didn't make the ribbon a tad longer, so that it 
would fit slot 4?? Also, does anyone know if they're planning to rectify this
problem soon?? Does anyone have a solution?? 

Any info is appreciated.

If you ask AE, they can send you a special CPU cable that will allow you
to put your TWGS in slot 4.  I had to have one, since the Apple Video Overlay
card only operates in slot 3.
