There is also a card put out by Harris Labs(which may be the same card!) which
accepts Mac Simms. However, I do not know if this card is "DMA compatible".
Does anybody have any firm information about this card?

Why are you advising against AE? I have a GS RAM+ card and it "seems" to
work with my ROM03,TWGS,DMA SCSI card,...I have my own thoughts re AE but
they do supply quite a few AppleII peripherals. 

Do you know if the AE GS RAM+ card(upgraded for the ROM03) is DMA compatible?
Mine seems to work, but I only have 1 meg in it and fear the consequences of
adding more!
