No, the manual is only partially wrong. Yes, turning the AppleTalk/IRQ
option on will work with the RamFAST. However, this should be AVOIDED
IF POSSIBLE, since it will slow down the TransWarp GS significantly!
Btw, its exactly the same with the ZipGS' IRQ delay!
For example, in time critical, "hardcore" applications like GS demos
turning the IRQ on results in a system's speed that does not differ
much from a standard, unaccelerated GS!
The poster of the original post should definitely upgrade his TransWarp
GS, or get hands on a new ZipGS accelerator.

Of course you had. And congratulations on slowing down your GS! ;)

3.01f(ailure). There seem to be major problems with v3.01f. Our coder
Jesse Blue does have a RamFAST v3.01f, and his system crashes
permanently (RamFAST boot errors). Even worse, when attaching my hard
drive (connected to a v3.01e) to Jesse's GS, his RamFAST won't
recognize the drive at all!!!
(And no, Jesse won't send his RamFAST to Sequential - we want to finish
our game THIS YEAR, so we'll just burn a new 3.01e ROM... ;) )
