Has anyone here used this new accelerator for the Apple IIgs?

Hi Guys,recognize 5.25" drives (yet), and its size prevents long cards from being inserted into slots 1 to 4. Until Niek makes a slot-version, I wonder whether a long cable could be used to free the slots.
The AppleSqueezer is inserted into the CPU socket, and it works well on ROM 01 and 3 machines. It brings 14MB by default to the machine. All software run fine, either 8-bit or 16-bit (desktop-based or no tools-based). As written in the FAQ, it does not
A great product priced at $270.

I've wondered about the slot thing. The ZipGS and TranswarpGS will work without being in a slot but they then don't have DMA. On the other hand a stock IIgs does DMA. You can turn off DMA on the RamFast and it's still pretty fast. I'm wondering if a faster accelerator would make up for the lack of DMA.

I once had a 10-MHz RocketChip and a rev. C RamFAST in a IIe. I/O with
full
acceleration and no DMA was faster than with DMA and no acceleration. It wasn't even close.

Scott, was that with a fast 7200 RPM hard drive too?
