It stands for, "small computer system interface." Commonly referred to as "Scuzzy" It was (and is) the old school method and platform for connecting hardware to a computer. IE printers, Hard Drives, etc. Ironically it's transfer rates were and are faster. It is also known as "Daisey chain."

An SCSI interface is an adapter card used to connect SCSI devices to your computer. Similiar to a parallel port.

SCSI is an intelligent, peripheral, buffered, peer to peer interface. It hides the complexity of physical format.

Every device attaches to the SCSI bus in a similar manner. Up to 8 or 16 devices can be attached to a single bus.
