Why not?
At least the "New" SCSI manager call, as promised for System 7.0, should be
pretty trivial to implement. Just create a special device /dev/scsi and a
special ioctl whose third argument points to the parameter block. Or
something.
The "old" SCSI manager, of course, is another problem.
I don't think it is possible to sensibly map that beast onto the A/UX notion
of how to do SCSI.
