The problem is that you got a RAMKeeper configured for a ROM 1.  I used to
use a RAMKeeper and when I first bought it, I had the same problem,
but because the RAMKeeper was configured for a ROM 3 and I had a ROM 1.

The best solution is the check in the packaging (if it is the original) and
see if you got a little separate chip in a foam block or in plastic
packaging. There should be instructions for this too in this packaging.

What you have to do is to put this specially modified chip into your
RAMKeeper after pulling the similarly unmodified chip from your RAMKeeper.
This chip is what you need to get the RAMKeeper to work with ROM 3.
