This is good to hear. Bill and I ran several tests prior to him releasing the board and everything worked so well right from the
start I was quite amazed at the IIgs hardware design and the ability to design a SIMM style ram card.

I think if more time had been allowed all components would have been on the back side. I was never aware that slot 7 cards could
conflict with the RAM slot. The nice thing about the RAM4GS is the layout is simple and for those into hardware design you will find
it pretty simple to reverse engineer. When Bill approached me with the idea I had never built a card for the Apple II's yet I've had
one for 24 years. I always try my designs simple and straight forward and a low cost. While Bill wanted 8Megs if possible the RAM4GS
design was so simple it made it possible for him to sell them at a very reasonable price. I don't even think you can find a used RAM
card for less. Thanks for the update!

Cheers,

Vince
