Gee... To show the other side of the coin now:

I have had my grubby hands on TWO Zip GSX's. (Same revision; v1.01). I've also
had my hands on two RAMFast's... One is serial # 64, the other is # 967 (or
something close). The newer RAMFast is running ROM v1.11, the older one v1.01
or v1.0.

I have used BOTH of them in a ROM01 and ROM03.. never any problems. Except
during a GS/OS copying of a file, where it will bonk into the monitor and
require a power off/power on combo to get the machine back. The TWGS used to
cause the same weird problem as well.

There have been MANY people who have used the Zip GSX and RAMFast in tandem
with no problems.. Me being one, and counted as two.
