The specific model that didn't work was a Quantum Fireball (1080MB, if
I remember right).  I don't think anyone tried a Trailblazer (I was
mentioning my new Trailblazer at about the same time - it works fine
on an Apple original or High-Speed card, but I don't have access to a
RamFast to try it out).

It is quite possible that the Trailblazer has the same problem.  The
problem appeared to be that the Fireball requires the host to provide
a SCSI ID, which does not happen with a RamFast.  The Trailblazer was
released at about the same time as the Fireball, so it is likely to
have the same requirement.
