Yes. :-)  I power up the drive, load the disc and give it about 30
seconds before I start up the IIgs.

Further progress:  The Ramfast sees the drive on SCSI ID 3, and
identifies it as a MATSHITACD-ROM CR-8005.  Still nothing in the
Finder.  Does GS/OS require a separate driver for that particular
drive?
