Default Can I add tape drive to U80 w/o SCSI card?

It is possible to add an *internal* SCSI tape drive (DDS-4) to an Ultra
80 without adding a SCSI card?

The machine has two SCSI channels, but I can't see any way of routing
either of them to an internal tape drive with a 68-pin connector.

I'm keen to remove my external drive and add an internal one. I don't
however have any more PCI slots free, despite having two SCSI cards spare.

I do use the external connector, so routing that to just do an internal
drive is not an option.

I think it impossible, but if anyone can see a solution, let me know.
