  Not completely correct.  On March 27, 1987, AT&T announced the production
of the SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) host adapter card for the
3B2 *family* of computers.  This card will allow *ANY* 3B2 computer (i.e.
3B2 models 300, 310, 400, 500, 600) access to SCSI-based peripherals.  The
only limitation is the software load of the 3B2.  The earliest release that
supports it is either 2.0.5 or 3.0, and all subsequent releases.

   I think the original poster is more concerned with the 3B1, which is no
relation to the 3B2.
