I hit up google and actually found a driver specific to this 8 bit scsi
card I've got on Adaptec's website. For the sake of the list, I will
post a link to the page as well as the scsi driver and some notes:
"Adding a CDROM to an XT": http://www.seasip.info/AmstradXT/cdrom.html
Adaptec PowerSCSI software:
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.jsp?sess=no&filekey=pwrscsi4.exe&language=English+US
Driver works with the following SCSI Products (and possibly others):
SCSI2GO
TMC-830
TMC-845
TMC-850M
TMC-860M
TMC-885M
TMC-PNP-1630
TMC-PNP-1640
Configuration Directives to load driver:
Config.sys example:
DEVICE=DCAM950.EXE /CA00 3
DEVICE=FDCD.SYS /D:FDCD0001 /F/R/Z
|DEVICE=DCAM950.EXE /CA00 3| says that there's a
Future Domain SCSI controller at address CA00h, IRQ 3. These settings match
the jumpers on the SCSI card itself. I set the card to IRQ 3 so it wouldn't
conflict with the hard drive controller on the motherboard.
|DEVICE=FDCD.SYS /D:FDCD0001 /F/R/Z| says that there's a CDROM drive
attached to the controller. The |/D:MSCD0001| gives the drive an ID so
that MSCDEX can use it (see below). The other bits (|/F/R/Z| are options
to do with scanning for the drive, and probably aren't necessary).
Autoexec.bat example:
shsucdx /Q /D:FDCD0001
I'm still working on getting my particular machine going with this, the above text is taken from the first link in this message.
Credit goes, of course, to the author of that page.

boot floppy image and wrote it to disk. It does boot and read the hard
drive ok, but I have yet to figure out how to make the SCSI CD-ROM work.
Is there a generic driver for SCSI cd-rom?
Try doing a search for ASPICD.SYS
