I had an almost identical setup not long ago (before my RAMFasts kicked
the bucket)... You might want to set your hard drive to ID#0, since it is
kind of the accepted practice to make an internal, booting hard drive #0,
though the only potential effect of doing so would be giving the hard
drive slightly longer to spin up before the RAMFast polls for it.  Try
putting a tape in the drive and let it get "spun up" before turning on
the system... The only other suggestion I can offer would be to check the
termination (both the resistance on the end of the SCSI chain and the
power supplied by the RAMFast).  Note, also, that there is a DIP switch
on the RAMFast for IIgs ROM 01/03 -- I don't know if it really does
anything, but you might as well make sure it's set correctly.
