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. >--Rick Ewing > Apple Atlanta --David A.

This seems to be what happens if you boot from a SCSI disk on which you have installed GS/OS. However, when I booted GS/OS from a 3.5" drive, it simply failed to acknowledge the existence of my HD20SC. No warning about needing a ROM upgrade. There was no note in the GS/OS box, either. This seems like a mistake..
