Isn't that a bit like "I've got this PC running Windows 95 and I want
to connect a digital camera to it"?

Look for something from Yamaha or Plextor and hope. See also

I have a YAMAHA CRW2200S CD writer (old). It was ATAPI which came with a
SCSI to ATAPI adapter. I would wager a bet that you'll not find an actual
SCSI CD/DVD writer. You may need to use an ATAPI with a converter.

Find out what HP is shipping with their Itanium servers. These *may* also
function on the Alpha with the ATAPI/SCSI converter.

I've successfully used an old HP 9600 series SCSI CD-RW drive with a DS10
and OpenVMS V7.3-2 and the CDRECORD s/w.

I have two such drives lying around doing nothing useful. Yours if you want
to collect one and give it a go. YMMV (especially if you're not in the UK!).
Contact me offline if you're interested.
