  • scsi-1 — (hardware)   The original SCSI, as opposed to SCSI-2 or SCSI-3.
  • scsi-2 — (hardware)   A version of the SCSI command specification. SCSI-2 shares the original SCSI's asynchronous and synchronous modes and adds a "Fast SCSI" mode (<10MB/s) and "Wide SCSI" (16 bit, <20MB/s or rarely 32 bit). Another major enhancement was the definition of command sets for different device classes. SCSI-1 was rather minimalistic in this respect which led to various incompatibilities especially for devices other than hard-disks. SCSI-2 addresses that problem. allowing scanners, hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, tapes and many other devices to be connected. Normal SCSI-2 equipment (not wide or differential) can be connected to a SCSI-1 bus and vice versa.
  • scsi-3 — (hardware)   An ongoing standardisation effort to extend the capabilities of SCSI-2. SCSI-3's goals are more devices on a bus (up to 32); faster data transfer; greater distances between devices (longer cables); more device classes and command sets; structured documentation; and a structured protocol model. In SCSI-2, data transmission is parallel (8, 16 or 32 bit wide). This gets increasingly difficult with higher data rates and longer cables because of varying signal delays on different wires. Furthermore, wiring cost and drive power increases with wider data words and higher speed. This has triggered the move to serial interfacing in SCSI-3. By embedding clock information into a serial data stream signal delay problems are eliminated. Driving a single signal also consumes less driving power and reduces connector cost and size. To allow for backward compatibility and for added flexibility SCSI-3 allows the use of several different transport mechanisms, some serial and some parallel. The software protocol and command set is the same for each transport. This leads to a layered protocol definition similar to definitions found in networking. SCSI-3 is therefore in fact the sum of a number of separate standards which are defined by separate groups. These standards and groups are currently: In the meantime a group of manufacturers have proposed an extension of SCSI-2 called Ultra-SCSI which doubles the transfer speed of Fast-SCSI to give 20MByte/s on an 8 bit connection and 40MByte/s on a 16-bit connection.
  • sculch — culch (def 3).
  • sculls — a race between racing shells, each propelled by one, two, or four oarsmen pulling two oars
  • sculpt — shape, carve
  • scummy — consisting of or having scum.
  • scumos — (abuse, operating system)   /skuhm'os/ or /skuhm'O-S/ An Unflattering hackerism for SunOS, the Unix variant once supported on Sun Microsystems's Unix workstations. Despite what this term might suggest, Sun was founded by hackers and still enjoys excellent relations with hackerdom; usage is more often in exasperation than outright loathing. See also sun-stools. Compare AIDX, Macintrash, Nominal Semidestructor, Open DeathTrap, HP-SUX.

  • wiscii — (character, data)   A version of ASCII used by Wang on their personal computers and mini computers in the 1980s. WISCII was used on the Wang PC, APC, OIS, Alliance and VS. The 7-bit characters were the same as ASCII, but the extended 8-bit characters were Wang-specific.
