But, they DID make a SCSI TK-50.
The TK50Z. DEC used "Z" to designate SCSI, though on later products it
was the second letter rather than a suffix. The TK50Z which came in -FA
and -GA variants with different firmware. The SCSI command set
implementation is atrocious; it will work with some host systems and not
others. IIRC, the -GA was much closer to meeting the SCSI spec.
In 2001, Pete Turnbull posted here that the firmware for the -GA is
a 27C256 with DEC part number 23-261E6.
There was also a TZ30.
