These jukeboxes differ from the respective models without the trailing ‘s’
by using SCSI control instead of a serial line. Internally, however, the
SCSI commands are transformed to serial commands. The advantage of
these models is the pure SCSI connection; disadvantages include the
need for another free SCSI ID for the robot, and more importantly, the
throughput under high load can be worse than the serial models. This is
due to inherent problems of the transformation of SCSI commands into
serial commands.
