My Beige G3 has (among other things) a SCSI Zip floppy.  Also, some of 
the ATA cards sold by Sonnet and others masquerade as SCSI devices.
They work perfectly fine under X.

Yes, Panther does ok with scsi, but there aren't the kinds of utilities to
support it as there were in 9 and earlier.  Like MtEverything etc.  I haven't
been able to find a way to access a scsi scanner or drive that wasn't turned on
when the machine booted.  Maybe it worked to log out and log into the user...I
think I tried it sucessfully.  In 9 you could call up MtEverything and there it
would be.

X is Unix based.  Linux is a freeware, open software form of Unix, but the two
aren't the same and Unix is what Apple went for.
