You don't need any drivers for standard IIgs RAM cards. If this is the
Sequential Systems RAM-GS, I have one too. There is a diagnostics
program which was supplied on a disk with the card which will test the
memory and identify the location of any faulty chips. I think I saw it
available from one of the FTP sites some time ago, but if you have a way
of getting it to your IIgs I can email it to you.

weren't [Radio Shack] TRS-80s! Thank God for that."
