No, it only requires stdin/stdout to display output/accept input.

Both of the SCSI controllers I am using are from Diamond and use
ncr53c875 chips. I have never had trouble with either of them in
the past.

I am re-testing the situation. I have rebooted the system and am
now playing a copy of Jean-Luc Ponty's "A Taste For Passion" from
CD while doing a dump backup/verify to tape. No errors so far. The
CD I was playing before was "Abba Gold Greatest Hits" when I received
the SCSI errors. Maybe my system does not like Abba for some reason.
