Apologies, but I'm REAL interested in a solution to this problem.

I thought it was strange too, but I had this problem once before when
I first bought the RamFAST card.  A call to tech support at Sequential
System resulted in trying the Apple SCSI drivers, and it worked!  Now
it's not working, and the RamFAST driver still causes my system to
crash.

Thanks for the input.
