    Yes, you have to use the RAMFast.Config program that comes in the ROM disk
for the card.  Right above the table listing all your partition data, you can
select which slots the extra drives are mapped to in ProDOS 8.  My RAMFast is
in slot 6, so the first two drives are s6d1 and s6d2.  The other two
partitions are mapped to s7d1 and s7d2.

    At one point, I had my old hard drive hooked up as well (a 40-meg), a RAM
disk, the CVTech ROM disk and a 3.5" floppy.  That gave me 9 "drives" in all. 
It looked cluttered in the Finder, but I never had any problems with a "too
many partitions" error.
