"May" is the key word. Any change to your system is likely to break it.
The safest option is to fix the fault before it breaks.

What's not supported? SCSI is SCSI. Provided you have suitable software,
any standard SCSI device should work. I plugged an external PCMCIA card
reader into my Amiga's SCSI bus last week and it worked straight away.
That's one of the good things about SCSI, the hardware takes care of so
much of it that you don't need special software for each device.
