    You must be using a newer RAMFast because my older RAMFast (large
card) won't even recognize my 2GB Jaz drive.  If my guess is right
about your having a newer card, then you'll have to acquire an Apple
DMA SCSI card because an Apple revision "C" SCSI card also will not
recognize my Jaz 2GB drive.  My DMA Apple SCSI card can partition a
Jaz disk when using Apple's ProDOS 8 partitioning software.  I have
not yet tried using a IIgs and ADU.

    Right, CSU was written for Apple SCSI cards.
