Just browsing through the storage area in my friend's basement tonight I uncovered SCSI heaven:
1 Zip 100 Plus (SCSI/Parallel) drive
1 Zip 250 SCSI drive
1 Jaz 1GB SCSI drive
1 Jaz 2GB scsi drive
7 or 8 Jaz disks of 2GB and 1GB denominations.
7 or 8 Zip disks of 100MB and 250MB denominations
and all necessary power supplies!!!
This is in addition to the Zip 100MB parallel drive I already have.
Asked about them, and I can have them as soon as the cartridges/disks are wiped clean!

Nice, a zip drive would be very handy for my Classic II. (They're very hard to find in my area, even more so if you want cables.)
At least I recently found an old SCSI CD drive at a thrift store, it even uses the CD caddy. Fortunately there was a caddy there as well. Haven't tried it yet though, not sure which CD drivers to try. (Didn't System 7.5.x have a CD-ROM extension that worked with third-party drives?)
Anyway, congrats on your find there. 😀

(Didn't System 7.5.x have a CD-ROM extension that worked with third-party drives?) Probably this will help:

If you just want to read data CDs on it, the freeware Sunrise driver on the Mac Driver Museum link is perfect. Works fine on System 6 too (with Desktop Manager).
The "universal" and hacked Apple drivers didn't work at all here with my old 1x external SunCD.

Nice! Those and a USB Zip/Jaz drive - or indeed that parallel drive you already have - will make it much easier to transfer data from the modern world onto your old machines.
