 Name

    scsi - small computer systems interface

 Description

    SCSI provides a standard interface to peripherals such as hard disks,
    printers, tape drives and others. SCSI is run via a host adapter card
    that can support up to 8 controllers, each supporting up to 8 devices.
    The minor device numbering scheme for SCSI disk devices is the same as
    the standard minor device number scheme for non-SCSI disk devices.

    Each SCSI controller has its own major device number.
