Standards

This International standard defines an input/output bus for interconnecting computers and peripheral devices. It defines extensions to the small computer system interface (ISO 9316:1989), referred to herein to herein as SCSI-1. Its also provides more complete standardization of the previously characteristics of the interface to allow inter-operability of conforming devices. This International standards is referred to herein as SCS1-2. The term SCS1 is used wherever it is not necessary between the two version

This International standard defines the common access method (CAM) for the small computer systems interface (SCSI). The purpose of this International standard is to define a method whereby multiple environments may adopt a common procedure for the support of SCSI devices. The CAM provides a structural method for supporting peripherals with the software (e.g. device driver) and hardware (e.g. host bus adapter) associated with any computer.
