Actually, I believe you've got that backwards.  Older Macs used a
weird implementation of SCSI, that caused some imcompatibility
problems.  Both the RamFAST and the Apple High Speed SCSI card use
full SCSI I implementations, and should work with any SCSI device
(although you may need the proper driver).
