To be exacting the SCSI bus in complete but the boot roms will only recognize the oddball TK50. There is a fellow that developed a SCSI drive so VMS can also talk to SCSI drives. Also the MFM controller will talk to RX33 floppy, and more than one RDxx. ALL MV/VS3100s are SCSI some may have the TLZ30 tape or RX23 floppy in them. <Er.
