AmigaOS has had that for years. In the Amiga 4000, there is a device
called "scsi.device", however it controls the IDE bus. It even does
attempt to implement user-level SCSI commands sent to it through the
interface defined for that. This trick was apparently chosen for
compatibility with programs that (wrongly) assume a disk should be
accessed through scsi.device, as was the case on the Amiga 3000.

A difference with Unix however is that AmigaOS disk drivers probably
define a higher-level interface, sort-of comparable with character
special devices (but different :).
