With DMA off, the RamFAST is significantly faster than the Apple DMA SCSI card. Back in the day, some fairly large AppleWorks databases (a couple hundred K or so) loaded about twice as fast on a IIe with a 10-MHz RocketChip and a RamFAST as on the same IIe with the same accelerator and an Apple DMA SCSI card. IIGS accelerators and DMA SCSI cards don't clash, OTOH. System 6.0.1 boot time is about the same for either card. I've gotten a CD-ROM drive working fairly easily with the Apple card. I can even make bootable CDs and boot from them...it's kinda neat to install System 6.0.1 from CD-ROM instead of a stack of floppies, and the CD should last longer. I was never able to get the CD-ROM drive to work with the RamFAST at all...it shows up in the card's built-in setup utility, but a CD in the drive (ISO-9660, HFS, or ProDOS) never shows up in the Finder. _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Linux) iD8DBQFBmjzcVgTKos01OwkRAhsIAKC0FU29suJjMAjYJkzOfKA9LfhDCACguqX/ p+viPGqQSM1GxvC21J/Hhw4= =IG9f -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
