This was suggested before.  The main barrier is the limitations of the
RamFast card.  The RamFast does not support some features of
SCSI that these adapters use.  The Apple High Speed does support
these features, but that means your driver will only work with half the
GS users out there.  Freeware authors would probably be too bored
to try writing one while commercial companies won't write for half
a market.
