The GSC bus and the SCSI bus are in independent frequency domains.
All logic on the board will be divided between those two zones.
My guess is the SCSI chip is bridging the two but I don't know that
for sure.
My point is the presence of the crystal is just to drive the clocking
on the SCSI Bus and probably doesn't tell us much about
which frequency domain any particular part is unless you
put an oscilloscope on the board
