The 3B1 (ie. UNIX PC) did not do SCSI. That was an MFM system.
THe 3B2 lower end models were MFM, and higher end were SCSI based systems, 
although
I don't remember any external SCSI ports on them.

There's an AT&T SCSI external shoebox Tape drive listed on eBay now.

I'd say its likely that they were done for the 3B2..
