Introduction to SCSI-2
1-7

The SCSI-2 architecture allows for multiple devices on the bus 
where more than one host computer can communicate with more 
than one target at a time. They can be daisy-chained together in a 
 
narrow
 
 configuration using a 50-conductor, 8-bit cable to connect up 
to 8 SCSI devices on the bus. A 
 
wide
 
 configuration expands the bus 
to a 68-conductor, 16-bit bus that can handle up to 16 SCSI devices. 
They can be intermixed on the same bus.
