Mine has 2 ribbon cables and DB-19 connectors on it. Is one
for the 3.5" and the other for 5.25"? If this is true then I can free
up another slot in my IIe and put my RamFast Rev.D back in. ;-)
I love my RamFast SCSI card. It has worked with everything I
have thrown at it. It only has Rom 3.00H though. If it works ok,
should I even bother upgrading the Rom? I'm only using it in the
IIe right now, but I was thinking of switching it with the Apple
SCSI Rev.C in the IIgs. How about a MicroDrive card and the
RamFast in the same machine? It wouldn't work with the Focus
card. I guess I'll know soon enough, I have 4 more MicroDrive
cards coming next week. BTW, if anyone wants an IDE drive
in their Apple IIe enhanced or IIgs, let me know. I am getting
some more later on. He is having another batch of cards built.
Whew!, this is a long one. Oops. A bit off-topic as well. ;-)
Oh yeah, I'm soon going to be working on an IDE drive controller
for the II and II+, wish me luck.
