I have a RamKeeper which I labeled as "bad" in my inventory - it's got
the 1.3 ROM, but works perfectly well with a ROM01 machine, now that I
try it.  So, it looks like it's the 1.3 AE ROM that's in conflict with
the GS ROM03.  I have an AE RK1.7 chip too, but just the one - maybe
we can have one of our vendors run a copy for us?

They all look that way.  The glue doesn't hold on the stickers that AE
put on them  Oh, and by the way... my AE RK 1.7 chip actually says 1.7
(I still have the official AE sticker for that one) - but the CDA
announces itself as 1.6.
