It kinda is, but not anymore. But yes, I've tried the RamFAST driver
with bad results; it causes the computer to hang on boot. Up until 2
days ago it ran just fine with the Apple SCSI drivers. I've tried
Uninstalling the SCSI drivers, installing both the Apple and RamFAST
SCSI drivers, of course one at a time, disabling DMA, replacing
cables, all kinds of terminations, clean re-installing GS/OS (wiped
the HD), no-init's/DAs boot, and a couple of other things that I can't
remember now. Might I be missing something? I really need access to
some of that data.
