  I'm having trouble parsing that sentence.  Regardless, having 
cached data on the RamFAST improves reliability, since it is 
extremely difficult for the Apple to crash the RamFAST. In fact,
reset doesn't reset the RamFAST, specifically because Apple II
users are too quick to hit reset, and reset would destroy
directories often.
