  I bought a Z-RAM Ultra III/512 about four years ago for the same reasons
you mentioned.  After I received it I realized that my CPU and MMU were
SOLDERED!! to my motherboard (who did that? ;-).  Anyway, after a quick call
to AE they told me to send in my //c and Z-RAM and they would install it.
About 5 days later (yes, less than a week) they had returned my machine
with sockets installed for the CPU/MMU and the ZRAM in place and checked out.

  I went ahead and put another 512 on it about 4 months later because I was
so happy with the AW support (then 2.0, now up to 3.0) and how well it worked
as a RAM disk.  Since then we have also picked up a Vulcan (100Meg) for
our //e at home and have also been very pleased with that.  I would highly
recommend AE for the high quality of their products and their excellent
technical/support service (picked up the AW 3.0 patch this summer).

  Look for mail order houses in any of the trade mags for good prices, we
bought our Vulcan from Quality (see Incider) since they seemed to be the
most reasonable at the time.  The Z-RAM was bought directly from AE as they
were still fairly new back then.

Hope this helped,
