Re: [PLUG] OT: SCSI controllers 4sale
|
Well...
people often seem to confuse this (gabrial, help out?)
SCSI 1, 2, and 3 are COMMAND SETS
I sometimes see a cable marked as "SCSI 2"... and well I have 50 pin SCSI
1 and 50 pin SCSI 2 devices with the same cable. As far as I know the
numbers only indicate supported command sets.
Narrow, wide, fast, ultra indicate speed/bitwidth
Most drives are compatible with faster/slower interfaces.
The main importance is that an LVD drive or HVD drive or "normal" drive
will normally not work on a different type of interface
(and likely will fry something).
