Yes, but did you see my 2nd post within this thread? On the 15th
December 1994, Jawaid announced right here on csa2 that a new SCSI-2
driver for the Apple High Speed SCSI card was available for purchase
from Sequential Systems for $24.95. He even mentioned how to go about
ordering it.

Here is another post I dug up from Jawaid regarding the HS SCSI Driver
shortly after it was announced, answering questions posed by David
Empson:

  It works with the SCSI Manager, of course. :-)

  No. In fact, the Installer script deletes SCSICD.Driver.

So I'm guessing that the driver did in fact exist.  :-)
