For what it's worth, the Sequential Systems 8 meg card is the CV-Ram 8
meg card.  In fact it has CV-Ram stamped right on it.  This is a card that
I believe Drew created and rumor has it that it is fully DMA compatible 
to 8 megs (especially if one is using the Ramfast SCSI--both were made by 
CV--but I've had some tell me that were using it that way with an Apple HS).
 
I have this card at four megs.  Very nice little card, very small.  The ram
chips are the same (I think) as those in the Ramfast rev. D 1 meg boards.
 
It is a 4-layer board (I think that is the term) so there is no 
problem at all with noise.
 
I am very pleased with the board.  If I were going to buy it again, 
I'd probably just order the board populated to 8 megs.
