I can comment to this with some knowledge in that I have a System 6.0.1 with a 
CMS SCSI card on it.  I also attempted to hook up a CD to it  (in my case a 
thing called an INFOMASSTER which came in a box the same color and with the 
same lines as a GS also exactly a GS footprint so I KNOW it was made for it) 
and the BLASTED thing never worked!  If you check the SCSI part of the FAQ 
there is a description of the CMS card and the different Revisions.  Yours may 
not be an earlier one.  Mine has a 1990 date on the microcode (no writting on 
the tape on the chip) 
Recently I got a real apple SCSI card (rev C) and this cd worked like a champ 
on it first try!.  I dont think CMS and SCSI work and play well together.
By the way: when I got this Rev C...the difference in speed between it, and 
the GS with the CMS was...shall we say..."dramatic"
