Are you sure about that? I have a number of "SCSI-2" drives on which bus
parity is a jumperable option. All the other SCSI-2 features remain active
if parity is disabled.

Usually, but not always. Some SCSI-2 devices and host adapters require
bus parity, and some SCSI-1 devices and host adapters don't support
parity at all.
