Anyone remember Checkmate cards?



I just recently bought my second Apple IIGS.  It came with a First
Class Sider II hard drive, a half-full GS Ram Plus memory card, and a
Checkmate ramsaver(?) card.  It's the Checkmate card I want to ask
everyone about.

This card plugs into the Memory Expansion slot.  It has slots for two
memory boards, and one is empty; it also has a power socket in the
backplane (I didn't get a power plug for the socket with the system).
I tried putting the Apple IIGS 1Meg board from my other system into
the open socket, but the system wouldn't recognize the extra memory.
There are a pair of jumpers on the card; I tried all of the
combinations, but I still couldn't get it to accept the extra memory.

Does anyone out there know how to convince the Checkmate
whatchamacallit to accept a second ram card?  And can anyone tell me
the voltage I need to send into the back to keep the Ram alive without
frying the card?

I'd love to talk Apple IIGS with anyone interested in E-mailing me,
and I'm looking for a cheap Transwarp or Zip accelerator...
