Correct...it goes in the auxiliary slot (where you normally put an 80-column 
card).

>1. Anyone have this card, and what's it worth?

Used to have a RamWorks III, but sold it a few years back when I upgraded my 
IIe to a IIGS.  (Didn't figure I'd pick up a IIe at a garage sale dirt-cheap a 
few years later.)  If I were in the market for one, I'd probably pay no more 
than $50 for one with 1 meg of RAM.

>2. How can I tell how much ram it has on it?

It accomodates four banks of 64Kx1 and/or 256Kx1 DRAM chips.  Eight chips are 
in each bank.  If you can identify the size of the chips, you should be able 
to tell how much RAM is on the card (anywhere from 64K to 1 meg).  (I think 
the RamWorks II supported up to four banks of chips...I know the RamWorks III 
did.)

>3. Would this card work in a 2gs?

Nope...there's no place to plug it into a IIGS...or anything other than a IIe, 
for that matter.
