'''SCSI''' (formally 'Small Computer System Interface') was a popular [[interface]] [[standard]] for high-speed devices ([[disk]]s, [[magnetic tape drive|tape drives]], [[scanner]]s, etc). It was composed of a set of standards for the various layers: physical signalling, commands, etc.

Over time, a variety of options were developed for many of these; e.g. the original standard was 8-[[bit]] [[parallel]] using [[single-ended signalling]], but later versions used 16-bit with [[differential pairs]], at a variety of speeds (mostly [[synchronous]], but one was [[asynchronous]]). Even later, a high-speed [[serial]] version was developed; and ultimately, one which worked over [[TCP/IP]] (usually over an [[Ethernet]]).
