    I try putting the RAMFast in slot 1 instead and then running Xenocide.  I
don't the game will work with the card in slot 6 either... and I need my
printer to be in the serial port, so I can't take up slot 1 permanently with
the SCSI card.

    Will there be any significant benefits for hard drive-only systems?  I
have a 100-meg Quantum hooked up to the RAMFast, and that is all.  I don't
need extra support for removeables or tape backup drives.  I also heard that
2.0 will allow up to 12 partitions (I only need 4).  Are there any other
improvements (faster speed?  write-through caching?)
