 Host adapter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A SCSI host adapter connects a SCSI bus to a computer.
In computer hardware, a host adapter or host bus adapter (HBA) connects a host system (the computer) to other network and storage devices.
The host adapter bridges the physical and logical chasm that separates the SCSI bus from the host computer's internal bus.

 SCSI Host Adapters
In some ways, the host adapter is the key to good SCSI implementation in the PC, since no matter how advanced the peripherals are that you attach to the bus, everything goes through that host adapter.
Since SCSI is a very "intelligent" interface--meaning it has a lot of capabilities and the devices on it are able to interact in advanced ways--many SCSI host adapters have evolved rather exceptional capabilities, and can act in many ways to improve performance.
Since it is inside the PC, of course, the host adapter really isn't the same as the other devices on the bus--it's sort of a "first among equals", if you want to think about it that way.

 SDC3211F; 32-Bit Fast SCSI-2 Micro Channel Host Bus Adapter
When BIOS is enabled on any card in your computer system, the system will first attempt to boot from the host adapter assigned to the 330h-333h port address (if present).
This setting determines the maximum transfer rate that the adapter will attempt to communicate at with a device attached.
The SDC3211F is a 32-bit Micro Channel Fast SCSI-2 Host Bus Adapter.

 Giga VST Adapter
Giga VST Adapter designed to work when both the VST host application and Giga Studio are on the same computer.
In case you ever want to run Giga Studio on a separate dedicated machine, you will need to use Giga Teleport or FX Teleport, programs allowing to integrate one or more Giga Studios each running on its own dedicated machine into the VST host application.
VST 2 compatible host application (Cubase, Nuendo, Logic or SONAR with a VST Wrapper, etc.)

 Glossary of Terms
The cable and the host adapter form the SCSI bus, and this operates independently of the rest of the computer.
When it executes in a disk adapter or adapter, Array Management Software is often called firmware.
With USB, a new device can be added to your computer without having to add an adapter card or even having to turn the computer off.

 What is SCSI?
In this way, the host system does not have to worry about things like how many heads a hard disks has, or how many tracks there are on a specific tape device.
You may find them on newer host adapters, sometimes they are software configurable, using some sort of setup tool.
The software interface to the host is identical for both.

 HBA - a Whatis.com definition - see also: host bus adapter
An HBA and its associated disk subsystems are sometimes referred to as a disk channel.
Because the HBA relieves the host microprocessor of both data storage and retrieval tasks, it can improve the server's performance time.
A host bus adapter (HBA) is a circuit board and/or integrated circuit adapter that provides input/output (I/O) processing and physical connectivity between a server and a storage device.

 hard drive - encyclopedia article about hard drive.
To maintain some degree of compatibility with older computers, LBA mode generally has to be requested explicitly by the host computer.
A USB system has an asymmetric design, consisting of a host controller and multiple devices connected in a tree-like fashion using special hub devices.
Because PCs use CHS addressing internally, the BIOS code on PC SCSI host adapters does CHS-to-LBA translation, and provides a set of CHS drive parameters that tries to match the total number of LBA blocks as closely as possible.

 FirmTek 4 channel Serial ATA Host Adapter
Why didn't they do 8 ports like the RocketRAID or Tempo-X? I suppose they feel there are many users that only need 4 ports and don't want to pay extra for ports they won't use.
One has to wonder what they are bringing to the crowded table with the SeriTek/1V4 (internal connectors) and SeriTek/1VE4 (external connectors).
FirmTek was the first company to release a Serial ATA host adapter for the Mac.

 SCSI bus and interface
Also it was now possible to have more than one host adapter on a SCSI bus.
This includes the ability of devices to compete for the bus (arbitrate) and to free the bus (disconnect/reselect) temporarily during command execution.
By 1984 a draft proposal was presented to ANSI for approval.
