6.1 SCSI Overview
The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is a specification for a peripheral
bus and command set that is an ANSI standard. The standard defines an I/O wide
SCSI bus that supports up to 16 devices (15 SCSI devices and one host adapter).
ANSI defines three primary objectives for SCSI-2:
1. To provide host computers with device-independence within a class of
devices.
2. To be backward-compatible with SCSI-1 devices that support bus parity and
that meet conformance level 2 of SCSI-1.
3. To move device-dependent intelligence to the SCSI-2 devices.
