ASPI - technical definition
(Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) An interface specification developed by Adaptec, Inc., Milpitas, CA, that provides a common language between drivers and SCSI host adapters. Drivers written to the ASPI interface can access peripherals that reside on different versions of SCSI host adapter hardware. See SCSI.
The ASPI Interface
The ASPI Manager is the software that supports the ASPI interface. ASPI drivers call ASPI functions to access SCSI peripherals. The ASPI Manager for the SCSI host adapter processes these function calls and generates the appropriate SCSI commands to the SCSI peripherals.
