Well the obvious thing is that Apple's CD software uses their proprietary
SCSI calls to do audio, and only the early single speed CDs from Apple
use those. That'd be the CD SC, CD SC plus, and CD150. Apple had those drives
out before a standard set of calls was put into SCSI-2. Apple's CD300 and up
and any other modern CDs will use those, meaning Apple's software can't play
audio with 'em.

Also I've never heard of having a SCSI card in slot 3, but if it works I
guess that's cool.
