   I have 2 Toshiba TC514400AP-80 chips in my RamFAST Rev. D card.  I got 
the card second hand, so I don't know if it has 1 meg on it or not but 
when my TWGS at 13.75 MHz was working good, copying files from my Quantum 80 
meg HD through the RamFAST was so fast, you would swear it was copying 
empty files as opposed to full diectories and files.
   It would copy both the entire AppleWorks GS, AppleWorks 5 and 
Publish It! 4 folders and files from the HD to my 6 Mb RAM card in less 
than 12 seconds.  It only took 4 or 5 seconds to read everything and hold 
it while it copied.
   
   Incredibly fast but TWGS problems plagued me so I had to slow 
everything back down.  :-(
