Defining Standard: SCSI-2.

Special Features: None.

Bus Width: Narrow (8-bit).

Signaling Method: SE or HVD.

Signaling Speed and Bus Throughput: 10 MHz bus speed; 10 MB/s.

Number of Devices Supported: 8.

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, 25m for HVD.
