Most RamKeepers were made before the ROM 3 and won't work in them.
Unfortunately all of the RamKeepers I have will only work in the ROM 1.

I was trying to find out someting acout it 7 or 8 years ago and I
believe the version they put out after the ROM 3 came out had a
different EPROM and GALs. Also you had to swap a chip when changing
to a ROM 3. If you want to give it a try you can find scans of the
modified chip and instructions in the ramkeeper subdirectory on my
