In this case it's not any added code to restrict the program to the
Ramfast,
it's major hardware differences. The ramfast is controlled by a
microprocessor
the other SCSI cards lack and the program in ROM is to change the settings
that processor uses. There's other hardware differences but that's the
major one.
