		34.5 pc
Responder		A FC term referring to the answering device.
RISC Core		LSIFC909 chips contain a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer)
		processor, programmed through microcode scripts.
ROM		Read Only Memory. Memory from which information can be read but not
		changed. The contents of ROM are not erased when the computer is
		turned off.
SAN		Storage Area Network.
SCAM		SCSI Configured AutoMatically. A method to automatically allocate SCSI
		IDs using software when SCAM compliant SCSI devices are attached.
Scatter/Gather		A device driver feature that lets the host adapter modify a transfer data
		pointer so that a single host adapter transfer can access many segments
		of memory. This minimizes interrupts and transfer overhead.
SCB		SCSI Command Block.
SCSI		Small Computer System Interface. A specification for a high-performance
		peripheral bus and command set. The original standard is referred to as
pc		SCSI-1.
SCSI-2		The current SCSI specification which adds features to the original
		SCSI-1 standard.
SCSI ID		A way to uniquely identify each SCSI device on the SCSI bus. Each
		SCSI bus has eight available SCSI IDs numbered 0 through 7 (or 0
		through 15 for Wide SCSI). The host adapter usually gets ID 7 giving it
		priority to control the bus.
Sequence		A term referring to one of the FC “building blocks”, composed of one or
		more related frames for a single operation.
SGL		Scatter Gather List.
SNAP		SubNetwork Access Protocol.
Synchronous		One of the ways data is transferred over the SCSI bus. Transfers are
Data Transfer		clocked with fixed frequency pulses. This is faster than asynchronous
		data transfer. Synchronous data transfers are negotiated between the
		SCSI host adapter and each SCSI device.
