SCSI 1SCSI Terms & Terminology
SCSI-1Asynchronous or synchronous transfers up to 5 megabytes per second, below defines how it is used in the different generations of the SCSI standards
SCSI-18 bit SCSI, Single-ended open collector drivers with Asynchronous transfer for all commands and data transfers. Bipolar technology for the drivers and receivers, bus DC loads a major consideration, passive termination.
SCSI-28 bit SCSI asynchronous commands with Synchronous data transfer rates up to 5 megabytes per second. Bipolar technology with Open collector or active negation single ended bus transceivers, passive or active termination, and Differential (Now called HVD High Voltage differential) bus transceivers based on EIA 485 allowed in SCSI-2.
SCSI SPI (SCSI Parallel Interface)8 bit SCSI asynchronous commands with Synchronous data transfer rates up to 5 megabytes per second. CMOS technology with Open Drain or active negation single ended bus transceivers, passive or active termination, and Differential (Now called HVD High Voltage differential) bus transceivers based on EIA 485 allowed in SCSI SPI.
SCSI SPI-2 (SCSI Parallel Interface)8 bit SCSI asynchronous commands with Synchronous data transfer rates up to 5 megabytes per second. CMOS technology with Open Drain or active negation single ended bus transceivers, active termination, LVD (Low Voltage Differential) and Differential (HVD High Voltage differential) bus transceivers based on EIA 485 allowed in SCSI SPI-2.
