Description: Ultra SCSI is the term usually applied to devices
that use 20 MHz SCSI bus speed on a narrow, 8-bit bus. This is sometimes called Fast-20
SCSI in reference to the Fast-20 signaling specification that defines Ultra SCSI
speed. Note that "Ultra SCSI" is sometimes used vaguely; for example, some
people call both Wide Ultra SCSI and (non-wide) Ultra
SCSI just "Ultra SCSI" collectively.
Defining Standard: SCSI-3 / SPI (including Fast-20 addendum).
Special Features: None.
Bus Width: Narrow (8-bit).
Signaling Method: SE or HVD.
Signaling Speed and Bus Throughput: 20 MHz bus speed; 20 MB/s.
Number of Devices Supported: 8 if HVD signaling is used or SE
signaling is used with a maximum cable length of 1.5m; 4 if SE signaling is used with a
cable length of over 1.5m.
Termination: For SE, either active or forced perfect termination. For
HVD, HVD termination.
Cabling and Maximum Cable Length: "A" cable (50 pins).
Maximum of 3m for SE if no more than 4 devices are used, otherwise 1.5m; 25m for HVD.
