This is a board made by Applied Engineering which allows you to keep your memory charged when you turn off your gs, so that you can boot from memory when you return. You just plug it into your gs and plug your apple memory board into it, piggy-back style. I don't know what these guys are going for now, but when I was using it it was great. I think I got it for $195 used? Anyway, the *only* incompatibility I know about after using it 2 years is that it won't work with the RamFast SCSI card (from CV Tech, I think). So if you have that card forget getting this one. Other than that it's been absolutely fine.

That's weird... the RamFast manual I have doesn't say anything about an incompatibility between it and the RamFast. The RamFast manual also says that the RamKeeper is DMA compatible if it has one card on it and the card itself is DMA compat. -- David Huang | Internet: daveh@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | "Slight accidents with funny rays UUCP: ...!ut-emx!ccwf.cc.utexas.edu!daveh | can have serious consequences" America Online: DrWho29 |
