If that card you mention is what I think it is, I tried one once...had nothing 
but trouble with it when I tried to get AppleWorks 3.0 to work with it.  I 
ended up sending it back and spent the extra $$$ on a real RamWorks III.

Maybe they've fixed it since then...but I think I'd rather have the real 
thing.  (Knowing what I know now about Apple II memory expansion, the Apple II 
Memory Expansion Card lets AppleWorks make better use of expansion memory.  
Then again, there were all kinds of neat add-ons for the RamWorks cards, 
such as the 65816 upgrade card.)
