I deleted the section HOW PARALLEL SCSI WORKS due to it conveying no useful information to the reader. At one time, there was a similar section that summarized the various SCSI phases and what happened during each one. However, the uneducated Internet monkeys got to it, deleted the content that was worthwhile and injected irrelevant crap, such as cable signals.
Also, the SCSI command protocol is independent of the bus architecture. The eight phases are the same in all cases, so a title such as HOW PARALLEL SCSI WORKS is just plain wrong.
I am increasingly viewing the making of lucid contributions to Wikipedia as a huge waste of time, in that so much uneducated editing occurs, even in technically arcane subjects. The hacking up of this article by people who think they know SCSI, but evidently don't, is yet another example of the basically flawed premise of Wikipedia. It's referred to as the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and therein lies the problem. Anyone can edit anything, whether they know anything or not. In the world of computers, SCSI expertise, as well as a neutral perspective, is a scarce commodity, which is patent in reading this article.

Since there's also a comprehensive Parallel SCSI page, I'd like to move most of this page's Parallel SCSI section there and just keep a summary. IMHO this page should focus on SCSI in general. Any objections? Zac67 ( talk) 20:29, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
The SCSI Express stuff and SBC-4 are some obvious lacunae. Someone not using his real name ( talk) 01:25, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
Myusernamewastoosimilar-apparently ( talk) 00:01, 15 April 2019 (UTC) myusernamewastoosimilar-apparently 15-04-2019. Hi. Sorry if i've got it wrong. I'm new to this. The link in refererence 15 in the article is dead.(hxxp://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V40F_HTML/MAN/MAN7/0003____.HTM) There's not even a redirect from HP as it doesen't get reached. Probably other dead links too. I don't have an alternative link for reference 15. So what happens?
I came here wanting to know whether SCSI is obsolete or still in use, but found hardly anything. I'd say any addition on this matter would be welcome. Cheers. -- uKER ( talk) 19:51, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
