Marvin is buying my RAM card and this is what I did with it.  I do have
an Apple High Speed SCSI card.  Never had any problems with it.

My card came ready to run on a ROM 1 and had a chip you could swap
(supplied) that would allow it to work in a ROM 3.  The card has been
pulled from a ROM 3 and was working.  The chip to convert it back to
working in a ROM 1 will be included with the card.
