Re: CD-ROM Question

["Jon Lipp" <lippjt@tc.umn.edu>]

I have an Apple II Hi-Speed SCSI card, so I would imagine it should work
with most Apple Hardware.  I read the Apple II CD-ROM FAQ last night, and it
mentioned that you should be able to hook up an Apple CD-150, so I picked
one up for cheap on eBay.  Hopefully that should solve the problem.
