Parallel SCSI data rate of 640 MB/s. Due to the technical constraints of a parallel bus system, SCSI has since evolved into faster serial interfaces, mainly Serial Attached SCSI and Fibre Channel. The iSCSI protocol doesn't even have a physical definition at all but uses any IP network, usually based on Ethernet. , SCSI interfaces had become impossible to find for laptop computers. Adaptec had years before produced PCMCIA parallel SCSI interfaces, but when PCMCIA was superseded by the ExpressCard Adaptec discontinued their PCMCIA line without supporting ExpressCard. Ratoc produced USB and Firewire to parallel SCSI adaptors, but ceased production when the
Serial port COM1, COM2..etc. Ports numbered greater than COM9 should be referred to using the \\.\COM10 syntax. The RS-232 standard is used by many specialized and custom-built devices. This list includes some of the more common devices that are connected to the serial port on a PC. Some of these such as modems and serial mice are falling into disuse while others are readily available. Serial ports are very common on most types of microcontroller, where they can be used to communicate with a PC or other serial devices. Since the control signals for a serial port can be easily turned on
