PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)
An Intel standard governing the connections and timings for a local bus that is
32-bits wide operating at 33 MHz. It brings high speed peripheral functions
closer to the microprocessor while maintaining compatibility with traditional
16-bit expansion systems operating at 8 MHz.
point-to-point
Transmission of data between only two devices where one device is the sender
and the other device is the receiver.
propagation delay
The time it takes for a signal to travel across the SCSI bus.
protocol
A set of rules and conventions that govern the exchange of information
between communicating devices.
RAM (Random Access Memory)
The type of computer memory where a byte of data can be read or stored at any
G
location.
L
O
reconnect
S
The arbitration used by a SCSI target to regain control of the bus to continue
S
communications with a SCSI host. The previous transmission was most likely
A
suspended with a time-out parameter to allow other devices to use the bus.
R
Y
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)
An I/O bus protocol that provides high performance, peer-to-peer data
communications for up to 16 devices, including one or more host computers.
SCSI device
Any peripheral that can be attached to a SCSI bus.
