	Presumably it's 7Mhz, unless they've come out with a faster one
without me noticing (possible, 'cause I was in Europe).

	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...
