[comp.sys.apple] TransWarp / Checkmate

dale@pro-colony.UUCP (System Operator) (01/18/88)

There was a problem with the TransWarp card and certain versions of the
Checkmate AW expansion software.  The Checkmate software decoded all of the
softswitchs in the c07x range and thereby would mess up when you tried to
change speeds on the TransWarp (there may have also been something like this
in one of the PALs on the checkmate card).  The problem could be solved by
either getting a new version of software (from Checkmate) or by pulling pin 15
out of the socket on chip TW1x-x on the TransWarp (the value of 'x' doesn't
matter).

As for people that are using ModemWorks and the TransWarp, replacing the
TW1x-x may solve the problem.  I have heard of a couple of people that have
had a problem like this, however I have not duplicated it (and I run a ProLine
with a TransWarp, and TIC with a TransWarp) on my own systems.  

The TW1 chip replacement is a free chip swap from AE.
