My last message left out some stuff, has anybody tried a Ramkeeper with a GS-Ram card, and an Apple 1Mb card, and a card in Slot 7 (I have a PC Transporter there). Will this fit? How 'bout adding the 2 Meg Expander on to the GS-Rams Plus Card? That would be 9 Megabytes!! I believe the GS will address up to 16 Mb. _____ UUCP: crash!pro-lep!j_p ARPA: crash!pro-lep!j_p@nosc.mil INET: j_p@pro-lep.cts.com

Jason, You shouldn't have any problems with having a card in slot 7 as long as you have a slot-mover (RAMKEEPER accessory) installed on the RAMKEEPER card. This 'Slot-Mover' basically moves the second slot on the RAMKEEPER over about 2 to 3 inches. In other words, wihtout it, you won't be able to use slot 7 if you intend to connect two cards to the RAMKEEPER. By the way, the 16 Meg idea works great. I have to GS RAM Plus cards with expanders and have found no problem with the setup with the slot-mover. However, I have found that I rarely need that amount of memory, so I usually leave my Apple 1 Meg Card along with 1 fully populated GS RAM Plus card in the GS. It saves my GS from too much wear, tear, & heat (Even though I save a system saver). David William Wrage a.k.a. The Frenchman -'I don't have a nifty saying yet, but I'll think of one.....'

I just purchased an old AE Ramkeeper card today at my local apple
dealer and am having some trouble using it with my GS. The card works
perfectly with my old Apple memory expansion card (with a full meg) but
crashes when loading GS/OS (and only then) when I install my standard
memory card, a GS Juice plus with two megs installed. I am running with
ROM 01, an Innerdrive 40, Audio Animator, GS Juice+, and a Zip GSX at 9
mHz with a 64k cache. If anyone can enlighten me as to the causes of the
crashes, the information would be much appreciated.

Try swapping the locations of the two cards; ie put the one currently on the front on the back, and v/v. This is what did it for me, with an AST RamStak+ and 4MB Apricorn card. >Internet: slhood@bluemoon.uucp >UUCP : ...osu-cis!n8emr!bluemoon!slhood Henry -- -- Henry Throop throoph@jacobs.cs.orst.edu THROOP@GRIN1.BITNET

I do not have the SlotMover cable, so at present I can use only 1 card at a time. When I use my Apple Memory Expansion card, the system works fine. However, when using the Gs Juice+, the system will go no further than halfway through the loading of GS/OS. ProDOS 8 functions perfectly, though, and I have accessed the ROM drive from there. Once I am able to obtain a SlotMover cable, I will install <both> cards and try switching their positions as you suggested. Until then, however, does anyone have any other ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
