Abstract:  This standard defines mechanical, electrical, and functional 
requirements for attaching physically small computers with each other and with 
intelligent peripherals such as rigid disks, flexible disks, magnetic tape 
devices, printers, optical disks, and scanners.  The resulting interface 
facilitates the interconnection of physically small computers and intelligent 
peripherals and thus provides a common interface specification for both 
systems integrators and suppliers of intelligent peripherals.
