There are several brands of SCSI CD ROM drives available. To use a CD ROM drive
on an Apple II a SCSI interface is required. There aretwo main SCSI interface cards
that will work with CD ROM drives, and a distant third.
The RAMFast SCSI card from Sequential Systems and the Apple High Speed SCSI
card from Apple Computer. The distant third is the Rev "C" Apple SCSI card,
(making sure that is in fact the Rev "C" card.). The Rev C Card will work, it will just
produce a slow environment.
To date, there are not very many, if more than 5 Apple II specific CD ROM titles.
However, a new product on the market from Sequential Systems, allows use of
many of the popular titles available for the PC and Mac market. Things such as the
Home Physician, Groliers Encyclopedia, the World Almanac. The product is called
DiscQuest and requires an Apple IIgs with System Software 6.0.1 installed, and a
hard disk.
