Describes mechanical, electrical, and functional requirements for a small computer input/output bus and command sets for peripheral device types commonly used with small computers. The small computer system interface, described in this Standard, is a local I/O bus that can be operated at data rates up to 4 Mbytes/s and provides host computers with device independence within a class of devices. Thus, different disk drives, tape drives, printers, and communication devices can be added to host computer(s) without requiring modifications to generic system hardware or software.
