Yes.

The original Apple SCSI card went through three ROM revisions, called
"revision A", "revision B" and "revision C".  The ROM part numbers are:

rev A: 341-0112A
rev B: 341-0112B (I think - I don't have one any more)
rev C: 341-0437A

The first two versions are 2764 EPROMs (8Kx8).  The rev C is a 27128
EPROM (16Kx8).

Revision C is required for use with GS/OS, or to support Apple CD-ROM
drives.
