NEC SCSI-2 CD-ROMs should work on both the RamFAST
and the Apple High Speed SCSI cards.  What kind of SCSI
card do you have?

Also, check SCSI ID of card, CD-ROM, and hard disk drive.
Make sure they do not overlap and that the CD-ROM is
not the boot drive (on the IIGS, the highest SCSI ID is the
boot device).
