Sorry, thanks for playing, and no parting gifts for you... (just kidding) At least in the last info I heard, the RAMFAST only worked with plain old hard drives.. DIDN'T work with removable SCSI media, whether it be floptical drives, Syquest based drives, or CD Roms.. All of these problems were being worked on for a future version but it doesn't exist now from what I heard. So I don't regret buying the Apple card since I plan on getting a Syqyest based drive.. (when a newer version of the RAMfast that DOES support removable media comes out, THEN I'll regret buying it! Actually not really, because buying the DMA Card shows how many II people are around that still buy stuff for it!) -- / Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu \ \"If cartoons were meant for adults, they'd be on in prime time."-Lisa Simpson/
