Presumably it's 7Mhz, unless they've come out with a faster one without me noticing (possible, 'cause I was in Europe). >(It probably would help if I sent my registration in -- I'll do that the >next time I pop the case; I didn't write down the serial number when I >installed it.) I haven't either, for the same reason, and it's been around awhile... I don't know why they didn't stamp it on the registration card. Anyways, now for the question: I was writing something dealing with the TWgs' firmware, and for the GetCurISpeed call, it returns 0 if it's running at 1Mhz (correct), 1 if it's running at 2.6Mhz (correct), and 1 if it's running at 7.0Mhz (bzzz... incorrect). Mine is 8H, rev 1.2. I was wondering if anyone out there knows if 1) Their TransWarp does the same thing, 2) Am I nuts, or is this really a problem?, 3) If it is really a problem, has it been fixed in later revisions of the ROM? For those of you who know the command to make a JSL from the monitor: Get into the monitor, set native mode, make the call to BC/FF28, and examine the value in the A register. It should be 2 (assuming you're in TransWarp mode). Final question: If the GetCurISpeed doesn't work, what about GetCurSpeed? (Didn't check it yet) Please, in all responses, mention what version of the thing you have... -- Jason Blochowiak - back at school (again). blochowi@garfield.cs.wisc.edu or jason@madnix.UUCP "What's up pruneface?" - Bugs Bunny in the year 2000
