(Rubywand reposted an earlier followup by me to a similar question.)

Digging through my old archives, I've unearthed the original
announcement from Jawaid Bazyar.  Here it is (reformatted slightly so my
news software doesn't throw a wobbly):


Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple2
From: bazyar@netcom.com (Jawaid Bazyar)
Subject: NEW! SCSI-2 CDROM Driver for Apple HiSpeed SCSI
Message-ID: <bazyarD0vL3r.DD3@netcom.com>
Keywords: new product, SCSI, CDROM, SCSI-2, discQuest
Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest)

Sequential Systems is proud to announce the release of a SCSI-2 CDROM
device driver for the Apple II High Speed SCSI Card. 

The device driver allows full use of the features of a SCSI-2 CDROM
drive such as Quality's 'Q-Drive CD' product, and other certified
SCSI-2 CDROM drives.  Until now, users of such drives on Apple
SCSI cards were unable to play CD audio discs or use the 
CD-audio features of Sequential's discQuest(tm).

The SCSI-2 CDROM driver also comes with a Media Control Toolkit
interface, so that regular audio CD's can be played with the 'Media
Controller' desk accessory, which offers a CD 'control panel'.

The price of the driver is $24.95, and is available from Sequential
Systems.

(Product name: "SCSI-2 Driver for Apple Hi Speed SCSI card")
