I am told that a simplistic SCSI controller is basically a parallel
port with 48 mA drive. This would include the NCR 5380. Western
Digital has a chip which implements much more of the protocol. I think
it's the 33C93. (but don't take my word on these numbers. call a
salesman.)
I am of course biased because we second source both these chips.
But better to get some biased info than none at all, right?

DEC finally got it right!
