Other options:
If it has CI you can use a HSJ CI -> SCSI controller
If it has DSSI you can use HSD DSSI -> SCSI controller

I have observed these for reasonable prices on Ebay.
The CI solution you would need a star coupler as well, if you don't have
one, which also can be had for small $ but are a pain to ship as they are
mostly air in a heavy metal cabinet.
