will GSOS just "see" it?

With the ramfast if you're using GSOS you don't need to map the CD to
a slot. Only your boot partition needs to be maped to a slot. If you're
only using GSOS apps then that's the only partition that needs to be
maped to a slot. If you're using ProDOS 8 apps then any partition you
want that app to be able to access.

I'll show you a few pics of my ramfast menus. I didn't bother getting
out the CD600 again and am using my regulat Toshiba CD drive

In ramfast utilities if you're getting the format message like in
http://www3.telus.net/waynes/RF_1.JPG then if you just ignore it
and click on quit. That should take you back to
http://www3.telus.net/waynes/RF_2.JPG where I'd just click quit again
and I'd see http://www3.telus.net/waynes/RF_3.JPG
The CVTech.ID4.A is what the ramfast is calling this particular CD
which happens to be an ISO9660 CD
And just to complete things here's the last menu before bootup
http://www3.telus.net/waynes/RF_4.jpg
If nothing else the pics'wil give someting to refer to


Now if you get an "initialize or eject" message after you've booted
GS/OS the you're missing a FST, likely HS.FST or HFS.FST
