Re: Wanted: RamFAST SCSI card

Wayne,

I think you might have helped me get the card working! At least with a
hard drive. I was pressing "0" (Zero) to get into the configuration
screen but most of the time I was getting an error that said "Unable
to load ProDOS". But you mentioned putting the card into a different
slot. That worked for me and got me into the configuration screen!!

I'm formatting a 32MB partition right now. Is that the maximum
partition size for ProDOS and the RamFAST?

Well, if this works I'll try the SCSI Zip drive again. Thanks for your
help.
