SCSI SCRIPTS

A SCSI programming language that works with the SCRIPTS processor
that is embedded on the LSI53C8XX or LSI53C10XX device. These
SCRIPTS reside in host computer system memory.

SDMS

Storage Device Management System. An LSI Logic software product that
manages SCSI system I/O.

Single-Ended
SCSI

A hardware specification for connecting SCSI devices. It references each
SCSI signal to a common ground. This is the most common method (as
opposed to differential SCSI which uses a separate ground for each
signal).

STA

SCSI Trade Association. A group of companies that cooperate to
promote SCSI parallel interface technology as a viable mainstream I/O
interconnect for commercial computing.

SURElink

The domain validation method developed and used by LSI Logic.
SURElink provides three levels of integrity checking: Basic (level 1),
Enhanced (level 2), and Margined (level 3).

Synchronous
Data Transfer

One of the ways data is transferred over the SCSI bus. Transfers are
clocked with fixed frequency pulses. This is faster than asynchronous
data transfer. Synchronous data transfers are negotiated between the
SCSI host adapter and each SCSI device.

System BIOS

Controls the low-level POST (Power-On Self-Test), and basic operation
of the CPU and computer system.

TolerANT

A technology developed and used by LSI Logic to improve data integrity,
data transfer rates, and noise immunity, through the use of active
negation and input signal filtering.

Ultra SCSI

A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
20 Mbytes/s over an 8-bit SCSI bus and up to 40 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit
SCSI bus. SCSI Trade Association (STA) supports using the term “Ultra
SCSI” over the older term “Fast-20”.

Ultra2 SCSI

A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
40 Mbytes/s over an 8-bit SCSI bus, and up to 80 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit
SCSI bus. SCSI Trade Association (STA) supports using the term “Ultra2
SCSI” over the term “Fast-40”.

Ultra160 SCSI

A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
160 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit SCSI bus.
