Without |being able to change disks, a SyQuest drive (while the computer is on) is |simply a ~45 megabyte hard drive. That's it. An expensive and relatively |slow ~45 megabyte hard drive at that. | | Does Cirtech have any kind of an upgrade from the Apple DMA SCSI |card to the RAMFast? If/when they TRULY support removable media I may |consider upgrading if they have any upgrade scheme. Nono, the NEW ROMs WILL let you change cartridges, RIGHT NOW with the current ROMs you can only use one!!! I'm SORRY, I didn't didn't make my meaning CLEAR! I'm lousy at explain thing, so sue me. Second question no longer applies, I hope... I think you just want an excuse to get Apple DMA card... sheesh... Take my WORD... PLEASE... The RAMFast is kick-ass (excuse my french)... it beats Apples card by a long shot, NOT to mention you can access 8-12 partition in ProDOS 8 and you still get about the same speed as if you were in GS/OS while your in ProDOS 8. RAMFast, BTW is MADE by CV Tech, not Cirtech. It does writes to disk in the back ground... you don't have to wait for it to write to disk... it waits for you to tell it to do something like roll over... :) TRUST ME... YOU WILL NEVER REGRET GETTING RAMFAST!!! You will regret not getting it sooner!!!
