: It kinda is, but not anymore.  But yes, I've tried the RamFAST driver
: with bad results; it causes the computer to hang on boot.  Up until 2
: days ago it ran just fine with the Apple SCSI drivers.  I've tried
: Uninstalling the SCSI drivers, installing both the Apple and RamFAST
: SCSI drivers, of course one at a time, disabling DMA, replacing
: cables, all kinds of terminations, clean re-installing GS/OS (wiped
: the HD), no-init's/DAs boot, and a couple of other things that I can't
: remember now.  Might I be missing something?  I really need access to
: some of that data.

What happens if you shift-boot with the RamFast driver installed (i.e.,
hold down the shift key while booting the system)?
