This is how rumors get started.

There is NO "Rev. D" SCSI card.  There is the "Apple II High Speed SCSI Card"
which uses 1 MB/sec DMA, and there is the older "Apple II SCSI Card" which went
through several ROM revisions, the last of which was Revision C.  You must have
Revision C on the older card to use it with GS/OS, any version.

The new card is *not* simply a revision to the older one and can't be called
"Rev. D".  We usually call it the "DMA SCSI Card" (well, actually we usually
use it's old code name, but we do that with lots of stuff).

Just trying to prevent me getting lots of mail asking for Rev. D ROMs before
this gets too far (some people think such requests are dandy pieces of personal
mail, it seems.  :(  )
