SCSI adapter card allows you to install a complete
SCSI subsystem in your EISA Series computer using the industry-
standard set of hardware and software specifications known as the

computer. You can connect SCSI devices such as hard disk drives,
tape drives, CD-ROM drives, WORM (write once, read many times)
drives, and magneto-optical devices. You can also connect SCSI
communication devices and bar code readers.
