A Rev C will work fine in a II+. You can even add a CD150 CD drive if
you 
want.(I have a number of ProDOS CDs I've burned so the CD drive is
handy) 
It'll even work in a II but I haven't found a suitable program launcher yet.

While the Hi-Speed SCSI card manual claims it'll only work in a IIgs or 
Enhanced IIe, It'll work in a II+ as long as DMA is off and the II+
contains 
a 65C02. Either as an accelerator or as I did it a R65C02 replacing the 6502.

Pity the ramfast is giving you dificulty in the GS. Still it's a pretty 
amazing in the IIe, wish I could get one to work in a II+.
