SCSI Support in Silicon Graphics Systems

SCSI Support in Silicon Graphics Systems

All current Silicon Graphics systems rely on the SCSI bus as the primary attachment for disks and tapes. The IRIX kernel provides extensive support for OEM drivers for SCSI devices.

Note: As used here, the term "adapter" means a SCSI controller such as the Western Digital W93 chip, which attaches a unique chain of SCSI devices. In this sense, a SCSI adapter and a SCSI bus are the same. "Adapter number" is used instead of "bus number."
