You should be able to.  SCSI-2 is backward compatible; actually, SCSI-2
is supposed to be purely a set of extensions to SCSI-1 that the
manufacturers and developers were finally able to agree on after SCSI-1,
plus the tape standard.

This is no guarantee that it will work, but you should be able at least
to try it.  Isn't SCSI fun?!?!?

Wait a second - which are you: R. Taylor, Mark Linderman or Craig Chase?
Or are all three of you asking?
