ZipGS & Iomega Zip Drive Incompatibility?



Since I'm packing up my 1.08gb hard drive to ship out to Sequential 
Systems so they can try to figure out that incompatibility problem with 
Quantum Fireball, Empire and the IBM OEM-31080 drives, I'm using my 
Iomega Zip drive as my main GS drive.  Each time I boot using the Zip 
drive my RamFAST card searches the SCSI bus for 45 sec ^then^ boots 
GS/OS... every single time.  When I used the hard drive (instead of 
the zip drive) the only time the SCSI bus was searched was when I added 
another SCSI device of changed the SCSI IDs.  Could it be the speed 
setting of the ZipGS card for slot 7, which the SCSI card is plugged 
into?  Slot 7 is set to fast by default.  I have switched DIP SW-2 switch 
7 to both the OFF and ON positions, however the RamFAST card still does 
that annoying 45 sec search every time I boot my GS.  In addition, when I 
shut down from the finder then select restart, the 80-col text screen 
appears displaying the Apple IIgs... Rom version 3 message while the 
RamFAST is scanning the SCSI bus, instead of the RamFASTs message.
Has anyone else had the happen to them?  How do I change the default 
speed of the ZipGS for slot 7 (if that is the problem)?  Thanks in 
advance for any help.
