It looks like it works on at least one SASI machine now.

However like all good standards people ignore the details of the 
specification & implement their device to work with other peoples 
implementations. So it wasn't necessarily incompatible with SASI, just 
incompatible with specific implementations of SASI. It is just as likely 
to be incompatible with SCSI implementations that follow the same 
principals. It may be that the SASI systems it didn't work with, weren't 
really following the SASI specification either.

So, it may or may not work in a D9060. However you can't add one of 
these without replacing the original drive completely, or rewriting the 
roms to work with more than 1 SCSI ID. You'd need

What was the modification? SCSI 1 cables did not really follow a 
standard anyway.
