I don't like you and I am saying so, to answer your question.

I am not joking. Your RAM card is a noisy wreck. Although many people
get by with it on unaccelerated systems, it wreaks havoc with
accelerators.  You're asking the CYA/FPI to drive 4 banks x 8 dram
chips (of unknown specifications due being SIMMs) on top of everything
the CYA/FPI is already is doing.  This is why ALL of the other cards
designed to go into the Apple IIGS memory slot have bus transcievers
and hex inverters; they keep the signals clean and strong.  You left
everything off to save a few pennies on a couple of $.30 components
(either that or out of ignorance).  Believe me, if Apple could have
saved a few dimes on tens of thousands of Apple IIGS Memory Expansion
Cards, they would have.  Apple II users put a lot of time and money
into their computing hobby, they don't deserve to be short changed.
