If you have access to old csa2 posts (I use google groups) look for
the the thread "Can IIGS use this CD-ROM drive?? - Drivers"
from early 1999.  I had no luck trying to buy the drivers from
Sequential Systems back then.  (I was ISCA Librarian).  At the time I
was pretty sure that David Empson had the scsi2 driver, but I am sure
he would have spoken up if he had it, so that was another false lead.
Jawaid had already parted from SeqSys. and I was dealing with Joe A
Yabrowski (sp?).  Dead end.

Happy hunting and good luck!
