JL>Well, my TransWarp //e arrived yesterday.  Plugged it in and it works
JL>great!  It too came without any documentation, so just for
JL>completeness, what are the settings for the 2 x 8 dip switches?

JL>Mine is a Rev 1.3, (c) 1985, and has a 65c02p4 chip.

JL>Switches are as follows, assuming bank 1 is lower left furthest from
JL>the edge connector.

JL>Bank1         Bank2
JL>1  closed     1  open
JL>2  closed     2  closed
JL>3  closed     3  closed
JL>4  closed     4  closed
JL>5  closed     5  open
JL>6  closed     6  open
JL>7  closed     7  closed
JL>8  open       8  open

Bank1: Sw 1-7 -> Change to OPEN if there is a memory card that uses the
"Langauge Card bank switching technique". {Normally CLOSED}
Bank1: Sw 1-7 -> Change to OPEN if the plug in card must be accessed at 1 MHz
{Normally CLOSED.  OPEN for Floppy diskette controllers}

Switch 8 on both Banks: Sets the power up speed of Transwarp

Bank1   Bank2
3.6 MHz     OPEN    OPEN  <<Normal>>
1.7 MHz   CLOSED    OPEN
1   MHz     OPEN  CLOSED
1   MHz   CLOSED  CLOSED

JL>Is there a way of disabling it for games (i.e. key press at
JL>power-up/re-boot?)

Press <Esc> at power-up will disable Transwarp completely until the next power
off/on cycle.

A better way is to write a 01 to $C074.  This will slow Transwarp down to 1
MHz without disabling it completely.  Writing a 00 to $C074 will restore
Transwarp to it's 'fast' speed.
