What slot and ProDOS version?
With ProDOS 8 2.0 or higher, you can see more than two volumes. P8 2.0
will map the volumes, two per slot, to any slot that does not contain
a Disk or Smartport Device. As it's own partitions will override.
There are no CMS drivers for the SCSI card. Only Apple cards and the
RAMFast had native GS/OS drivers.
The Sider had a GS/OS driver, but thats SASI, not SCSI. It's
electrically the same, but not firmware wise.
Descriptions of ProDOS versions can be found here:

Tony/Rich,
There *is* a GS/OS driver for the CMS SCSI card. I'm not sure where it
originated, or if it works for all ROM versions, but I managed to track
it down some time ago.
With the last ROM version (1990), normally you can only see the two
partitions you've selected within GS/OS. With the driver in place you
see *all* of the partitions. This isn't an ideal solution though,
because if you have a larger drive attached, you get a lot of icons
displayed on your desktop. I tried the driver with a 850Mb drive and my
desktop was covered with drive icons.
The driver can be downloaded from:
http://www.apple2.org.za/mirrors/apple.cabi.net/Utilities/CMSHDutils.bxy
You have to place the driver (CMS.Driver) in the System:Drivers folder
on your GS/OS boot partition.
