<BUZZ>  Try again!  My SCSI ROM says:

       341-0437-A
        Ver 2.0
  (c) Apple 1986-88

And it is quite definitely Revision C.  It works with GS/OS and had
"Rev C" stamped on the outside of the box.  On a SCSI card at work we
had the older ROMs--upon booting GS/OS, we got a dialog saying we
needed the free Rev C ROM from our dealer; the replacement chip we
got had the -A on the end of the number.

The $$40 (64-dollar) question is, of course, why they don't print
the revision level on the ROM in a more obvious form.
