The only thing I can think of is that the folks you loaned your CD player to
changed the SCSI Priority on it...maybe to 7, which is the default setting
for the Apple SCSI card.  (As I understand it, Macs are priority 0, so any
nonzero priority is fine for a Mac, and any non-7 priority is okay for an
Apple II SCSI card.)
