Small Computer System Interface
<
hardware,
standard> (SCSI) /skuh'zee/, /sek'si/ The most popular processor-independent standard, via a parallel bus, for system-level interfacing between a computer and intelligent devices including
hard disks,
floppy disks,
CD-ROM,
printers,
scanners, and many more.
SCSI can connect multiple devices to a single
SCSI adaptor (or "host adaptor") on the computer's bus. SCSI transfers bits in parallel and can operate in either
asynchronous or
synchronous modes. The synchronous transfer rate is up to 5MB/s. There must be at least one
target and one
initiator on the SCSI
bus.
SCSI connections normally use "
single ended" drivers as opposed to
differential drivers. Single ended SCSI can suport up to six metres of cable. Differential ended SCSI can support up to 25 metres of cable.
SCSI was developed by
Shugart Associates, which later became
Seagate. SCSI was originally called SASI for "Shugart Associates System Interface" before it became a standard.
Due to SCSI's inherent protocol flexibility, large support infrastructure, continued speed increases and the acceptance of SCSI Expanders in applications it is expected to hold its market.
The original standard is now called "SCSI-1" to distinguish it from
SCSI-2 and
SCSI-3 which include specifications of
Wide SCSI (a 16-bit bus) and
Fast SCSI (10 MB/s transfer).
SCSI-1 has been standardised as
ANSI X3.131-1986 and
ISO/
IEC 9316.
A problem with SCSI is the large number of different connectors allowed. Nowadays the trend is toward a 68-pin
miniature D-type or "high density" connector (HD68) for
Wide SCSI and a 50-pin version of the same connector (HD50) for 8-bit SCSI (Type 1-4, pin pitch 1.27 mm x 2.45 mm). 50-pin
ribbon cable connectors are also popular for internal wiring (Type 5, pin pitch 2.54 mm x 2.54 mm).
Apple Computer used a 25-pin connector on the
Macintosh computer but this connector causes problems with high-speed equipment. Original SCSI implementations were highly incompatible with each other.
ASPI is a standard
Microsoft Windows interface to SCSI devices.
