I just found out that the 300e uses a CR-8004 Matsushita mechanism whereas
the 300 and 300i use the CDU-8003 and CDU-8003A mechanisms respectively.

Can anybody confirm to me that:
a) the CR-8004 (300e) DOES NOT WORK with a Apple SCSI Card (not high-speed)
b) the CDU-8003/CDU-8003A DOES WORK with a Apple SCSI Card?

I just tried a simple test. I hooked the drive up to a Rev C SCSI card
which I installed into an Enhanced IIe. I used a bootable ProDOS CD.

The CDU-8003A booted
The CR-8004A didn't

In a IIgs with drivers the situation might be different
