SCSI
Small Computer System Interface. This ANSI interface defines the physical and electrical
parameters of a parallel I/O bus used to connect computers and devices. The StorageWorks
pedestal implementation uses 8-bit SCSI-2 for synchronous transfer of 8-bit data at rates equal to,
or exceeding, 10 MB/s, and 16-bit SCSI-2 for synchronous transfer of data at rates equal to, or
exceeding, 20 MB/s.
