Ok, maybe I was mistaken and it's actually only the second worst SCSI card
ever made.

It works, yes, and it's better than a floppy drive. However it won't work
as well as an Apple SCSI card and since he has an Apple SCSI card he'd
be better off using it. Especially on a IIe where he'll be able to access
all
of his 270mb HD instead of just 64mb

My first SCSI card was a CMS and while it seemed alright at the time,
I soon discovered how bad it was when I had a chance to compare it
with other cards, especially when using a faster HD.
