SCSI Standards


Here is a brief overview of the various SCSI standards:

 SCSI (SCSI-1) This standard is obsolete. It supported up to 16 devices
on a single SCSI chain and required each chain (internal and external) to
be terminated.
 SCSI-2 This is also called Fast SCSI. SCSI-2 improved the speed of the original
standard to 20MBps. It allowed for either active or passive termination and used
a high-voltage differential (HVD) bus.
