I saw an summary of a press release in the new products section of the
December 1990 edition of Unix World on page 164.

A company call Micro Design International has designed a way for UNIX users
to access DOS-based CD-ROMs with its SCSI Express Software.  Says it supports
High Sierra Group and ISO-9660 formats.  Also supports disk, tape, DAT, 
WORM (and other optical media), etc.  Available for SCO UNIX, Interactive,
and AT&T's PC-based UNIX packages.  $495

Hope this helps you out!
