S
Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI)
Commonly pronounced scuzzy. An industry standard that sets guidelines for
connecting peripheral devices and their controllers to a microprocessor.
The SCSI interface defines both hardware and software standards for
communication between a host computer and a peripheral.
Computers and peripheral devices designed to meet SCSI specifications
have a large degree of compatibility.
Socket
The part of an IPX internetwork address, within a network node, that
represents the destination of an IPX packet.
Some sockets are reserved by Hewlett-Packard for specific applications. For
example, IPX delivers all NCP request packets to socket 451h.
Third-party developers can also reserve socket numbers for specific
purposes by registering those numbers with Hewlett-Parkard.
Some key socket numbers reserved by Hewlett-Packard:
