   RamFAST Rev C with Apple IIe

       I'm looking to use an Apple IIe with  'Total Replay' but my financial   
   situation rules out a modern mass-storage solution (e.g. Floppy Emu,   
   CFFA). So instead thinking about using vintage-era options I already   
   have on the shelf: a SCSI controller and external 52x CD-ROM drive.   
      
       So, I have a pair of RamFAST Rev C SCSI boards, but the ROM   
   firmware isn't the latest. One has version 2.01 (in both U15/U16)   
   while the other has 3.01e *but* 2.01 in U16. Will this combination   
   work, and support removable storage? (it's been so long I cannot   
   remember the specific differences between ROM revisions).   
      
       I'm almost a bit hesitant to use a RamFAST in a IIe, but I'm   
   guessing its fast ProDOS-8 performance should be comparable to   
   what I've experienced with my IIGS's. If not, would I be better off   
   using one of my Apple High-Speed SCSI controllers to operate a   
   CD-ROM instead?   
      
       And on a side-note, what is the best way to create a bootable   
   ProDOS CD for Total Replay? Anything on the Windows side,   
   or will I have better luck using software on my beige G3 Mac?
