>What does the term "SCSI" in context of Macintosh computers imply ?

  SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface.  It is a reasonably
standard protocol for interfacing "high-speed" devices to the Macintosh
or other computers.  It allows for up to 7 devices to be daisy-chained off
of a single bus.  All macintosh computer from the mac plus on up come
standard with a "SCSI port".

  It's uses are too numerous to mention but here is a partial list.  Most of
these products are end use, i.e. plug and play devices.
  Hard Disks
  CD Rom players
  WORM Drives
  Optical Drives
  SCSI -> Ethernet
  ImageScanners
  Printers
  Data sampler's
  etc..

  I hope this helps.
