	What I did was (I also have a ROM 3 GS and FDHD Controller) to put
the FDHD controller on Slot 6. Since there was some smartport problem with
the FDHD on Slot 5 crashing with certain programs, I think you should not
put FDHD controller on Slot 5.

	Otherwise, I am not sure if it will work if you put the RAMCard
Driver from your System 6.0.1 disks.
