I've been considering getting something that will let me put stuff in my
GS's ramdrive, turn the power off, wait a while, turn the power back on,
and have it still be there.

I believe the RamKeeper does this.  I also think AE had another card for
this purpose, but without the option of piggybacking another memory card
onto it without taking up a second slot.

I don't know much about either of these cards.  If someone could send me
a description of these and/or similar cards, I'd appreciate it.  I need:

 * name of card (obviously) and manufacturer
 * how much memory is on the card, if any (probably not)
 * does it battery back a Ramdisk
 * does it allow piggybacking a second card onto it
 * what ram card(s) it works with
 * how many slots will it, my current GS-Ram card, and any other
   piggybacked cards (if allowed) use up
