The manual is wrong. Before you install your RamFast, go into the TWGS
CDA and make certain you have the 'AppleTalk/IRQ' option turned ON.
Close the CDA. Now go ahead and install your RamFast.
 
Once the RamFast is installed, you will want to run 'RamFast.System'
a utility that is included (it's in the roms) Press OA-O (for Options)
and make sure the TWGS option is set to ON/YES. Press OA-S (to Save)
and you should be all set :)
 
I have had 100% success with this, with several RamFasts and several
TWGS's, and infact have all 'A' series pals on my own TWGS (14Mhz/32k)
which resides in a ROM_03 machine with a Rev-C RamFast.
 
>> Whats the latest RamFast ROMS?
 
3.01f (Don't use the built in backup/restore in 3.01e!!! The restore
opeation will nuke the partition map on the drive being restored to,
as well as all existing partitions on that drive!)
