--> Thanks to you and a couple of other fine folks for enlightening
    me. So I need to get my sweaty little mitts on a RamFast SCSI
    card. Is this an AE card? An Apple card? I seem to recall
    something about `rev."C"' - is there a `preferred' version of
    this card that should be used? And I take it that it would
    need `termination'? And if I actually wanted to boot from a
    CD-ROM, then it would have to be in slot 7?

    You know - I probably should've looked in the FAQs. Very lazy
    and forgetful of me. Nevermind. I'll go look. Sorry 'bout that.
