Okay, then we are using approximately the same setup.  My Ramfast is 
for my internal devices only--2 hard drives, CD rom, and a 128 meg 
Magneto Optical.  My Zip is external and therefore handled by the 
Apple High Speed SCSI (which has DMA disabled for compatibility with 
the Ramfast and the 8MB installed).

Actually, I don't know if they have been made freeware.  Check on 
Delphi in the hard drive thread and you will probably find a post 
talking about a guy who is selling the remnants of Tulin's inventory. 
I don't know if anyone has checked to see if he also has the drivers.

It doesn't do either.  It does what Nathan describes with the 
Ramfast--clicking a couple times and then spinning up.  So, it's not a
problem with the hardware.  The drivers just need to be updated.

No problem.
