SCSI-Bus
A data cable used to transfer data between your computer and
your SCSI devices. The SCSI bus is a high-speed data cable
that can be compared to other bus systems.
SCSI Controller
Controls the transfer of data through the SCSI bus. The SCSI
controller is normally located on the mother board of your Mac.
SCSI Cable
A special cable used to connect SCSI devices to one another
(50:50 peripheral cable) and to the computer. For example, to
connect a Mac with onboard Controller (except Power Books)
to your SCSI device, you will need a 25:50 system cable.
System Extension (MacOS) see Init.
Terminator
Also called the SCSI Terminal Resistor; the terminator
ensures the error-free transfer of data in the SCSI bus. The
bus must be terminated at the beginning (with a Mac this
usually means the hard disk) and at the end.
Unmount (MacOS)
The opposite of Mount; this is done by dragging the icons of
the volumes you wish to unmount to the trash.
USB
Abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. Developed 1995 by Intel
Coorp. It allows to connect up to 127 devices to a computer
(theor.).
Volume
A term used for a storage medium, or its storage space, to
which the operating system can read and write data. Every
volume on a Mac, which can be mounted, will be displayed as
a single icon on the desktop. Other operating systems
symbolize each volume by a drive letter (A, B, C, ...).
