Ultra2 SCSI

A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to

 

40 Mbytes/s over an 8-bit SCSI bus, and up to 80 Mbytes/s over a

 

16-bit SCSI bus. SCSI Trade Association (STA) supports using the term

 

“Ultra2 SCSI” over the term “Fast-40”.

VCCI

Voluntary Control Council for Interference.

VDE

Verband Deucher Elektroniker (Association of German Electrical

 

Engineers).

Virtual Memory

Space on a hard disk that can be used as if it were RAM.

Wide SCSI

A SCSI-2 feature allowing 16-bit or 32-bit transfers on the SCSI bus. This

 

dramatically increases the transfer rate over the standard 8-bit SCSI bus.

Wide Ultra SCSI

The SCSI Trade Association (STA) term for SCSI bus width 16-bits, SCSI

 

bus speed maximum data rate 40 Mbytes/s.

Wide Ultra2

The SCSI Trade Association (STA) term for SCSI bus width 16-bits, SCSI

SCSI

bus speed maximum data rate 80 Mbytes/s.

Word

A two byte (or 16-bit) unit of information.
