I could be wrong, but aren't the capabilities of SCSI II way over
the GS's (the '816's and the bus') capabilities?  Then what's
the point, since the GS can't handle all the new found power of
SCSI II, we might as well not have it in the first place.

Instead of SCSI II, I think having more SCSI device drivers,
i.e. SCSI Laserprinter, scanners, etc., for the GS might be
more beneficial.
