SCSI

Small Computer System Interface. Pronounced "skuzzy". A set of standards designed for the connection of peripheral devices to computers. SCSI was ratified in 1986 (earlier versions date back to 1979) and has evolved much over the subsequent years to keep up with demands of speed and reliability. SCSI is a parallel bus interface that requires termination. The evolution over the years has created a large array of connectivity options for SCSI, and makes it one of the most confusing technologies to implement.
