I have never heard of such a thing which doesn't really mean diddle
except that SCSI is a much much more complex interface than either
serial or parallel.  You really do not want to do this unless masochism
is your game.

About the only thing SCSI and the parallel port have in common are that
they both use 8 wires for the data bits.

Just my opinion.
