I don't think so.  I have a Mac Plus with SCSI port and the icon on the back
looks like this:

Very informative from Apple! (sarcasm intended -- contest: who designs 
a good hard disk icon?) and I have a satisfactory Cutting Edge SCSI hard
drive connected to it.
Furthermore, I thought that all Plusses had a SCSI interface.
But you have to check this out, of course.  Borrow a drive and try it.
BTW, Mac SCSI ports have 25 pins
resp. holes, whereas most others have 50, but a cable can overcome this.
