I believe you are mistaken about RAM chip speeds and RC compatibility. The RC
does not accelerate the system, it only speeds the processor inside its
package. All external operations are 1MHz. Thus, if something worked be for it
should continue to do so. The RC caches external data and instructions and
executes them internally whenever possible. If the data or instruction it
fetches into the cache is bad then it will fail. Running a card at slow speed
does not actually keep the card slow, but rather traps the address range to
prevent it from being cached. My humble opinion is that one or more of the
64k chips are bad and need replacement.

The preceding is based on the ZipChip, it seems unreasonable that the RC would
attempt to override the Apple's system clock to accelerate itself. I could be
wrong.
