Hi Martin!

I had kind of the same problems... My CD Rom drive wasn't recognized
by my mac neither, so I had to find a workaround to get the banks on
cd rom  into my mac (SE) and from there (Sound Designer) to the EII. I
have OS 6.07.
What I did was to copy all the banks from cd rom to some Zip disks. I
did this with a modern first generation mac book pro. The zip disks
were first formatted on my old school mac SE. The powerbook had no
problems to recognize the old school formatted zip disks. After
copying all the banks, I could easily read them on my mac SE, because
the zip drive works perfectly with it. 
Of course it would have been much more comfortable if the CD Rom
worked fine, but as you have the same problem, CD rom devices seem to
cause Problems with those old apple computers. I don't even think that
the driver is the point, because via scsi there should (normally) be
no problem.

I hope that this helps you.
Greetings,
Elm.
