That's why I have an Apple High Speed SCSI card.  ;-)

I was surprised when I saw in the ramfast manual a list of
incompatible hardware and clashing software that all work
perfectly fine on the Apple card (Mr. Apple, Twilight, etc).

But since the ramfast is reported to work very well with
the Iomega Zip Drive, I figure it won't have speed
problems with removable media.
