nope - - I'm getting ready to do this very thing with 2 IIGSs.. everybody I've talked to says you can NOT use teh RAMFast.  Apparently the RF does not
support hardware arbitration.  There is some discussion as to whether the
Apple Hi Speed SCSI card does or not.

I wouldn't bother with anything else (but that's just me.. if something else can be proven to work....)
