Abstract
An adapter for performing bi-directional data transfers between a SCSI bus, which transfers data using a parallel format, and a serial transfer medium, which transfers data using a serial format and being connected to a serial device. The adapter bi-directionally transfers SCSI data between itself and the SCSI bus. In addition, the adapter bi-directionally converts between SCSI formatted data and serially formatted data. Furthermore, the adapter bi-directionally transfers serially formatted data between itself and the serial transfer medium.
