System6.0.1 for the GS contains scsi drivers that support audio functions
on the early Apple SCSI CD drives up through CD150.  These drives are now
called SCSI-1 drives.  Later drives starting with the CD300 are SCSI-2
drives and Apple never released updated drivers for GSOS and scsi-2
devices.

However, Jawaid Bazyar, while working for Sequential System, announced the
release of SCSI2 drivers for the Apple High Speed SCSI card.  To the best
of my knowledge Seq. Sys. never sold the new drivers.  I tried for months
to order it and never could get the order desk lady to take an order
because they only sold hardware, not software.  I talked to Jay Yafronski
(sp?) who said he would look around for the drivers, but he never
responded to futher inquiries.  I suspect if the drivers were written they
left Seq. Sys. when Bazyar left Seq. Sys.  I have never heard of anyone
ever getting the drivers.

SCSI2 devices work OK as data drives with GS/OS, just the CD Media Remote
cdev won't operate a CD300 or newer with Apple SCSI card.

SCSI2 drivers for the RamFast controller are available however.  Check
with Seq. Sys. when you try to buy a RamFast controller, or grab the
RFscsi drivers from a FTP site.

Good luck!  And yell out loudly to csa2 if you ever find the "Apple High
Speed SCSI2 Driver". :-)
