Bus Mastering
A high-performance way to transfer data. The host
adapter controls the transfer of data directly to and from system memory
without bothering the computer’s microprocessor. This is the fastest way
for multi-tasking operating systems to transfer data.

Byte A unit of information consisting of eight bits.
CSMA/CD: Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection. The
media access method implemented in IEEE 802.3u-1995.

Card Instance Number: A number that uniquely identifies a device
within a class. A class of devices is a logical grouping of similar devices.

Chain A topology in which every device is connected to two others,
except for two-end devices that are connected to only one other.

Configuration Refers to the way a computer is set up; the combined hardware
components (computer, monitor, key board, and peripheral devices) that make up a
computer system; or the software settings that allow the hardware components to
communicate with each other.

CPU (central processing unit)
The “brain” of the computer that performs the actual computations. The
term Micro Processor Unit (MPU) is also used.

system) to direct the operation of a peripheral device.

Differential A hardware configuration for connecting SCSI devices. It uses a pair of
lines for each signal transfer (as opposed to single-ended SCSI which references
each SCSI signal to a common ground).
