Duh? What do you mean "didn't" support SCSI? Since when did support for a
specific disk technology get included in the CPU?

The answer should have been; Yes, you can have a SCSI-controller on the
VAX, but it's more likely that this is something else.

Digital didn't have any SCSI controllers for a lot of years after this
machine was introduced, but that don't mean much in the context of wether
you *could* have a SCSI-controller on the machine. Nowadays both CMD, DEC
and some other manufacturers have SCSI-controllers for this machine.

I'll agree with all the rest you said. :-)
