 > I am not sure which of my 2 cards is a genuine TwinTurbo?
Apple used an OEM version of the TwinTurbo in the 9600 as the stock card.
The Apple version only has a single connector on it (a genuine TT
manufactured by IMS or IXMicro has both Apple and PC SVGA). The Apple
version uses some different revision of the ROM and/or hardware and will not
function with the TT driver. The apple extension "Graphics acceleration for
9600" (or similar name) is used instead and has no control panel to my
knowledge. It's present in the 8.0 installer, iirc. Didn't look in 9.1.
My 9600 has a TwinTurbo with 2 ports, Apple & I guess SVGA. Of course 
a PO may have swapped this.

 > It works like the one on my 7300. But I will look at the control panel you
 mention later. An interesting thought, Matt. Can't remember if there was
 anything on scrolling, I'd be pleasantly surprised if it can be speeded
up.
I'm pretty sure it has somethign to do with accelerating scrolling. I
remember installing it, excited that it would accelerate the card slightly,
and discovering it was just scrolling or some other aspect of operation, for
which I didn't place any importance to accelerating. Scrolling really rings
a bell.
The 9600 (OS9.1) scrolling is FAR slower than that on my 6116 
(OS8.6). The former too slow, the latter a little too fast...
