Description: With the creation of so many new types of SCSI over the years, the oldest SCSI implementations really have no specific name; they are sometimes called "regular" SCSI or other similar names. Since the only type of SCSI defined by the original SCSI-1 standard is this "plain" variety, some people call this variety of SCSI "SCSI-1".
