Yes though the Rev C is limited to a couple of early Apple brand CD-drives

The name RamFAST was mostly a name although it did have either 256k or 1mb
cache RAM and it was able to force DMA on some non-DMA complient memory
cards. It definetly isn't a RAM card.

Of the 3 the Rev C is the slowest and though others disagree I consider the
ramfast
considerably faster than the Apple Hi-Speed.

You might want to read the FAQ about the different SCSI cards.
