If there's anything like that on the 3/180 (rack-mount 3/160), it's
awfully well hidden.  I inspected our CPU board at length when we first
got it; there is no SCSI chip.  (And for what it's worth, the SCSI tape
drive on our 3/180 is connected via a SCSI controller board.)

I think somebody is confused.
