I don't think so.  It isn't listed in recent catalogues.  It was
called the "Q-RAM GS".  They now sell the "Q-RAM GS II", which uses
ZIL chips.

Another option is the OctoRAM, which will take 1, 2, 4 or 8 30-pin
SIMMs (256k or 1 MB, all must be the same type).  If 8 SIMMs are
installed, it is not DMA-compatible (unless you have a RAMFast and
don't have a TransWarp GS).
