Well, you don't need a driver if you have one of the latest versions of the
Ramfast's ROM. If you pick up a RAMFast second-hand from someone, it'll
probably have an old rom version, and not be suitable for what you want to do.
If you get a new RAMFast from a wholesaler, or pick up the newest roms (I
believe TMS has them in stock), everything should be ok. From reading the
other posts, I believe you need a Rom version of about 3.0l (l as in Lima)
