Actually, trawling through the c.s.a2 archives I found that these
drivers were announced on the 15th December 1994.

Here is the announcement made by Jawaid Bazyar (the author of the
driver) in case this jogs anyone's memory:

"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.

Hopefully someone out there has this driver? Other posts made to
c.s.a2 in 1999 were also seeking this driver, but by then, no one
seemed to know how to get it any longer...  :-(

Whilst not a "critical thing" to have, it certainly fits into the
"nice to have" category.
