	Okay, this is the following I was supposed to post up for anyone
who can give me an idea to what happened to my RamFast SCSI.

	It was reported after trying to format a SCSI device (second in the
SCSI chain !) :

	RAMFast MLI Error
	CMD : 03-04 82 60 00 00 00 00 00
	Status : 27

	My SCSI chain as follows :

	ID 6 : Pegasus 52i (Quantum) Terminator Resistors removed !
	ID 1 : Apple 40Mb SCSI Tape Backup Drive. External Terminator added.

	Machine as follows :

	ROM 3 Apple IIGS.

	Slot 1 : Printer Port (GS Stereo not overwritting)
	Slot 2 : PC Transporter (your card), 14.4k Modem on ProTerm 3.0
	Slot 3 : ZipGSX 9/32 (set to display port)
	Slot 4 : Mouse Port (Quickie Controller not overwritting)
	Slot 5 : Smart Port
	Slot 6 : FDHD Controller w SuperDrive (your card)
	Slot 7 : RamFast SCSI 256k "D" version, ROM 3.01e
	Memory : OctoRAM 8Mb with only 4Mb active.

	I tried to replace the ID 1 device with a Quantum SCSI-2 540Mb and
format it, but it gives the same error.

	After I formatted it as the only device in the SCSI chain, it works,
but when I put back the Pegasus.52i on ID 6 and the 540Mb on ID 1, it recognise
the device but if I access the harddisk, another error will occur (RamFast
Memory Error 00 (or 0D) and system hangs (goes into '*' prompt).

	I will have no problem with either harddisk by itself, but trying to
move the programs from one harddisk to another is a big headache if I were to
only use diskettes to move them one by one.

	Can anyone (or Jawaid Bazyar) look into this matter and give some
solutions ?

	I have arguably tried someone trying the 'set the HD Backup to YES' and
reinstall the RAMFast Drivers and Utility. (It does NOT work !)
