The Rocket Chip problems with "Slinky" style memory cards were, I think,
greatly exaggerated by the A+ review.  From what I understand, the only
program that ever caused a problem with that hardware combination was
AppleWorks, and then only if you had the RAM card in a fast slot.  I'm pretty
sure I heard somewhere that Bits and Pieces' new configuration software for
the Rocket Chip includes an AppleWorks patch to alleviate the problem.

>From ProDOS (as a RAM disk) and from other programs, there was reportedly no
problem with the Rocket Chip and the Slinky RAM card.
