SCSI or Small Computer System Interface is a set of standards for connecting computers and peripheral devices for data transfer. SCSI is commonly used for hard disks and tape drives, but can connect a wide range of other devices like optical drives like CD/DVD drive if the specific device being connected supports the standard. There are different SCSI port types like parallel SCSI, serial SCSI, Fiber SCSI and iSCSI. More details can also be found on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI - Neeraj Sharma
Yes, a SCSI device can be attached to a USB port. The SCSI device will have a small rectangular piece on the side that you can insert into the USB port opening.
SCSI, pronounced as scuzzy, stands for Small Computer System Interface. An SCSI port is used to attach peripheral devices that use the SCSI system , mainly for data transfer.
The final SCSI device in the chain of devices must be terminated. If you have only one device and it's attached to a SCSI port, you must terminate that device. If you have two or more SCSI devices that are linked together and to a shared SCSI Port ie: SCSI Port, Device #1, Device #2, etc, then the final device in the 'chain' must be terminated to allow for proper recognition. The SCSI Port also requires a terminator as well.

For any Mac since hte original iMac: 1. A SCSI hard drive. 2. A PCI SCSI controller 3. An available PCI port SCSI controllers from Adaptec should have Mac OS binaries available. For any Mac prior to the original iMac: 1. A SCSI hard drive. 2. If using a non-Apple drive, a third-party formatting utility, or a patched Apple one.
