There is no SCSI support in VMS at all. However, any

The RQDX1/2/3 controller for floppy and hard disk does that, CMD
CQD-220 SCSI card are examples of that.
The may be others but those are the most known.

Right. It's transparent to the user though. The SCSI disk just shows up
as DUB<scsID> and the card does all the work. No changes to VMS are
needed. Makes it very simply. Even easier than putting a SCSI controller
in a PC. They have a full set of SCSI utilities for formatting and
setting up drives built into the card. Actually booting them from the
monitor can be a challenge though. You'll need the manual for sure.
