The SCSI host adapter acts on your computer’s behalf as the host to
your suite of SCSI peripherals. Each chain of SCSI peripheral devices
and their host adapter work together, and are referred to as a SCSI bus.
Each SCSI host adapter that you install can act as host for up to 15
peripheral devices, not including the adapter itself.
