I have been waiting to buy my IIgs until the fall Applefest when the IIgs+ was supposed to be announced. While I'm disappointed that it wasn't, I am heartened by two announcements that were made: 1. OS/GS It looks like the 32 Meg ProDOS barrier is about to be broken. (Yes, I read Keith Rollin's posting that it is not to be right now. However, something like that *has* to come in the near term.) 2. Applied Engineering is about ready to ship the IIgs version of the TransWarp. Hopefully, this time they will have an external switch to change speed settings. Given the above, all I need now is for my 100 shares of stock I'm going to sell to go up $2 per share and I'm in! (Now the only thing I need the IIgs+ for is to somehow increase the available slots as was described in the long drawn out net vapor that got all the IIgs+ talk going in the first place.)

With the coming of the GS version of the TransWarp board, I'm sure AE will add a DA to control such functions, especially since it would be VERY BAD if the speed were changed during some types of disk access.

Transwarp GS:
It is my understanding that the Transwarp GS Board will plug into
the 65816 socket on the motherboard. This way the computer doesn't know
that the chip exists. I also think AE is working to put a math co-processor
on the board. This design is much more practical than putting a card in a
slot.
