Ha, Ha, Ha, now I see the joke! - a wholly unconvincing attempt at desperate back pedaling...
After a series of posts trumpeting the amazing technical superiority of the 9000 bebop tells us it has a socket that can even accept a cd writer.
You go to a shop, and ask the sales man, 'what does that socket do?'. He answers, 'it's for a cd writer'. 'That's for me then' you say, putting your money down. When you get home, you discover that you can't write any cds.
When you complain the explanation is 'of course everybody knows that when you say you can use a cd writer, the last thing that you must expect to be able to do is actually write any cds... but you can read them!'

As far as scsi is concerned, I agree with you. It may be entirely possible to pick up some bargains, and good luck to you.
This is because, as Alain pointed out, scsi is an obsolete, outdated technology in this area, overtaken in performance, flexibilty and ease of use by USB2 and ieee1394 firewire, and thus no one will be making any equipment for it any more.
