This acronym is pronounced "scuzzy" and stands for Small Computer Systems Interface. There are now three types of interfaces for hard drives, CD-ROM drives, etc. One is SCSI, another is IDE (also called PATA, Paralle ATA) and the newest one which replaced IDE is called SATA (Serial ATA). IDE and SATA are much more common and less expensive. SCSI is more expensive and also more flexible and generally faster.

Yes. Make sure that you have a SCSI controller that supports Software Interrupt 13. Most SCSI controller cards let the user enable software Interrupt 13 in the BIOS through the card. DriveCopy will then be able to recognize and work with all SCSI drives on the SCSI chain.

It is not a SCSI-II controller, although the controller chip does support some SCSI-II commands for software that can make use of them. However, SCSI-II drives can still be used with the SCSI-TV, although they will not benefit from SCSI-II FAST speeds.

Problem: When mastering a CD-R with DCA's RFG module, you receive an error at the beginning of the cut "ATIP error 13". Resolution: Do not use a DCA Clock Board speed setting for the mastering job. Instead, you must use the standard MIS Encoder speeds. Top

Not yet, sorry. I have received a contribution of some code which will help with making a SCSI version, but I still need a way for users to speicify which kind of SCSI hardware they're using, as some SCSI drivers don't play well with others. I am working on it, though, and the next version should definitely have SCSI support.

SCSI is is a high-speed, intelligent peripheral I/O bus with a device independent protocol. It is an entirely different interface than the more popular IDE. It is more of a system level interface, meaning that it does not only deal with disk drives. It is not a controller, like IDE, but a separate bus that is hooked to the system bus via a host adapter. A single SCSI bus can hold up to eight units, each with a different SCSI ID, ranging from 0 to 7.

SCSI-1 was standardized by ANSI in 1986. The initial implementation of SCSI (now called SCSI-1) was designed primarily for Narrow (8-bit), single-ended, synchronous or asynchronous disk drives and was very limited relative to today's SCSI. It includes synchronous and asynchronous data transfers at speeds up to 5 Mbytes/sec.

The SCSI port and the CD-ROM are independant. The CD-ROM is not SCSI-compatible and cannot be accessed through the SCSI port.

Multiple SCSI devices can be "chained" together, and each device in the SCSI chain needs to have it's own unique ID. The VS's internal computer is set to SCSI ID #7. Therefore, externally chained SCSI devices can have IDs ranging from 0 to 6. If you connect one or more external SCSI devices to the VS, the last chain in the device must be terminated.

If you ordered a 400SC with SCSI, it'll come with an LSI 21320-IS dual channel U320 PCI-X card. The card is 64bit/133MHz and backward compatible with the 32bit/33MHz PCI slots found in the 400SC, although it'll only run at U160 speeds on the slower PCI bus. It has an internal connector and an external connector. The card also has integrated striping (RAID 0) support. The card enables you to add up to six SCSI drives per stripe set.

No software of any sort can truly low-level format today's modern drives. The ability to low-level format hard drives was lost back in the early 1990's when disc surfaces began incorporating factory written "embedded servo data". If you have a very old drive that can truly be low-level reformatted, SpinRite v5.0 will do that for you (which all v6.0 owners are welcome to download and run anytime).

The acronym SCSI (pronounced "scuzzy") stands for Small Computer System Interface. SCSI is an interface standard for connecting peripheral devices to PCs and can be found on a majority of Fujitsu scanners. Please visit www.scsita.org or www.adaptec.com for more information about the SCSI interface standard. USB, or Universal Serial Bus is a standard computer interface that is included with the majority of personal computers.

Ultra320 SCSI is the seventh generation of SCSI I/O technology. Its dominant feature is its increased speed of 320 MBytes per second. Other features include; paced data transfer, a free running clock, a training pattern at the beginning of a transfer series, skew compensation, driver pre-compensation and/or optional receiver Adjustable Active Filter (AAF). Ultra320 SCSI devices all support packetized protocol and may support Quick Arbitration and Selection (QAS).

This is the "old" differential SCSI using TTL voltage levels that was originally defined in SCSI-2, offering 25 meter (82 ft) cable length. It was functionally replaced by LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI in the SPI-2 document of SCSI-3 and obsoleted in the SPI-3 document of SCSI-3. HVD and LVD SCSI are not directly compatible but can be interconnected by the use of a SCSI expander called an LVD to HVD Converter.

LVD, which stands for Low Voltage Differential, was introduced in the SPI-2 document of SCSI-3. It is also called Ultra 2 or Fast-40 SCSI. It uses 3 volt instead of 5 volt logic level and is not directly compatible with the "old" differential (HVD) SCSI. LVD again doubles SCSI data throughput to 40 Megatransfers/sec. Cable lengths are 12 m (40 ft). Single initiator-single target applications may use up to 25 m (82 ft) of cable.
