[comp.sys.apple2] TransWarp GS woes...

cmoir@wpi.wpi.edu (Silver Singer) (07/29/90)

Hi there.  Got a question for you all...

I have a gs system (ROM 3.0) which currently has the TWGS card, and
the Juice Plus 2 Meg memory expansion card (good card, no complaints).
Problem occurs when I try to load the system disk (5.0), or for that
matter, most any other disk.  If the machine is in transwarp mode (but
not 'normal' or 'fast') I get kicked into the monitor.  For the system
disk, this happens about halfway across the red strip that appears
when loading.

This problem doesn't happen when the machine is first turned on (cold,
not used for a while), only if booted or turned off/on after the first
five minutes or so of use... and thereafter.

For those who may think it's overheating, I have a brand-new
Kensington System Saver IIgs in place, too.  I suppose being summer,
the heat may be overpowering the fan, but somehow I doubt it.

Anyone have an idea what's wrong?

ADthanksVANCE

I had a similar problem, and I found that snugging up all the IC's on the card,
and switching slots seemed to clear it up.
