A Correct answer
Explanation

SCSI-1 specified a narrow (8-bit) bus that could support up to 8 devices total, including the SCSI controller/host adapter. This means you could connect 7 peripheral devices plus the host adapter. The 8-device limit was a key constraint of the original SCSI-1 standard, later expanded to 16 devices with Wide SCSI.

AI explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the SCSI-1 standard.

SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface and is a set of standards for connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices. SCSI-1 is the first version of the SCSI standard.

According to the SCSI-1 standard, a maximum of 8 devices can be connected through a SCSI cable. This includes the host adapter (the SCSI controller in the computer) and the peripheral devices (such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives, scanners, etc.).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Option A) 8 - This option is correct because according to the SCSI-1 standard, a maximum of 8 devices can be connected through a SCSI cable.
