The E-II connects to a Mac serial (printer or modem) port, not via
SCSI. Check the group "Files" section for Sound Designer docs and manuals.

No need for multiple SCSI ports; SCSI allows you to chain 7 devices.
If the Mac you choose doesnt have an internal CD-drive, you will want
an external SCSI CD-drive. Check the Group "Links" section for sites
that will get you up to speed on older Mac information.

When shopping for your old Mac, a 68030 based machine or better is
recommended. Check the group "Database" for working member setups.
