I have an Apple IIGS booting from a CompactFlash card in a PCMCIA-SCSI adaptor (Microtech PCD-25BH). My SCSI card is a Rev. C Apple II SCSI Card. Most of the time, it works OK. Every few minutes or so, however, it ejects the boot disk and all other cards in the adaptor!

I have to manually eject and reinsert them to get them to show up again. What causes this, and is there a fix?

When I was researching the issue this bit from the Apple II FAQ came up:

023- What can I do after the Zip drive connected to my Apple SCSI
goes into Sleep Mode?

A solution is "goosing" the drive by manually ejecting and reinserting it.
Apparently, using the SCSI driver for the Apple Card that was sold by Tulin
Technologies solves a lot of troubles with the Apple card and a Zip drive. You
can get the Tulin SCSI driver from ...
Mr. Wing Chung (104465.3171@COMPUSERVE.COM)
for $20.

Searches for this driver come up empty. Does anyone have a copy of it? Is the person mentioned even still selling it?
 
What Is The Apple IIGS? and it's contributors managed to find the driver and put it on one of their compilations. I haven't tested it as I managed to find a better SCSI card, solving the problem. However, anyone else who wants to try and boot from this combination of Rev. C SCSI card and PCMCIA SCSI drive can now give it a shot.
