Of course this is not true.  Or maybe you were tongue-in-cheek?  You just
need to find a SCSI drive that sticks to the specs.  We've run quite
a few different company's SCSI devices.  There was a discussion of
this in comp.unix.ultrix a while back.  Perhaps someone who saved the info
could send it to you?  I am cross-posting this reply to there.

I am not in the above recommending nor guaranteeing nor suggesting any
non-Digital SCSI interface.  Nor am I writing for Digital.
