Maybe it was the music dealer who thought for you about those dreadful things?
If I would have bought my SCSI devices in 1993/94 (when I bought my Atari and Kurzweil) then I also wouldn't have to think about those things because the most computer devices had have the

It's possible that later products of AKAI came with SCSI-II. You did use a SCSI card in your Apple G4 PPC? It's possible that it has a
SCSI-II adaptor (50 PINs in 2x25 closed lines) or maybe even a
SCSI-III adaptor (68 PINs). In a normal case newer SCSI controllers are downward compatible with older SCSI standards but, SCSI sometimes is a book with seven seals...
