That's just terrible.  I think the RamFAST uses an EPROM, so
that would mean a RamFAST will be useless in 10-12 years.

Considering the longevity of the Apple II, the IIGS (which
itself started life 10 years after the 8-bit Apple II) will still
be around when the first RamFASTs start to die.  Then what?

I'm glad that the Apple High Speed SCSI card (I think)
uses real ROMs.
