   S \S\ ([ecr]s),
      the nineteenth letter of the English alphabet, is a
      consonant, and is often called a sibilant, in allusion to its
      hissing sound. It has two principal sounds; one a mere
      hissing, as in sack, this; the other a vocal hissing (the
      same as that of z), as in is, wise. Besides these it
      sometimes has the sounds of sh and zh, as in sure, measure.
      It generally has its hissing sound at the beginning of words,
      but in the middle and at the end of words its sound is
      determined by usage. In a few words it is silent, as in isle,
      d[82]bris. With the letter h it forms the digraph sh. See
      Guide to pronunciation, [sect][sect] 255-261.
  
      Note: Both the form and the name of the letter S are derived
               from the Latin, which got the letter through the Greek
               from the Ph[91]nician. The ultimate origin is Egyptian.

   Sulphur \Sul"phur\, n. [L., better sulfur: cf. F. soufre.]
      1. (Chem.) A nonmetallic element occurring naturally in large

            pyrites) and sulphates (as gypsum), or native in volcanic
            regions, in vast beds mixed with gypsum and various earthy
            materials, from which it is melted out. Symbol S. Atomic
            weight 32. The specific gravity of ordinary octohedral
            sulphur is 2.05; of prismatic sulphur, 1.96.
  
      Note: It is purified by distillation, and is obtained as a
               lemon-yellow powder (by sublimation), called flour, or
               flowers, of sulphur, or in cast sticks called roll
               sulphur, or brimstone. It burns with a blue flame and a
               peculiar suffocating odor. It is an ingredient of
               gunpowder, is used on friction matches, and in medicine
               (as a laxative and insecticide), but its chief use is
               in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. Sulphur can be
               obtained in two crystalline modifications, in
               orthorhombic octahedra, or in monoclinic prisms, the
               former of which is the more stable at ordinary
               temperatures. Sulphur is the type, in its chemical
               relations, of a group of elements, including selenium
               and tellurium, called collectively the sulphur group,
               or family. In many respects sulphur resembles oxygen.

            butterflies of the subfamily {Pierin[91]}; as, the clouded
            sulphur ({Eurymus, [or] Colias, philodice}), which is the
            common yellow butterfly of the Eastern United States.
  
      {Amorphous sulphur} (Chem.), an elastic variety of sulphur of
            a resinous appearance, obtained by pouring melted sulphur
            into water. On standing, it passes back into a brittle
            crystalline modification.

            acting as a base in the formation of sulphur salts
            according to the old dual theory of salts. [Archaic]
  
      {Sulphur dioxide} (Chem.), a colorless gas, {SO2}, of a
            pungent, suffocating odor, produced by the burning of
            sulphur. It is employed chiefly in the production of
            sulphuric acid, and as a reagent in bleaching; -- called
            also {sulphurous anhydride}, and formerly {sulphurous
            acid}.
  
      {Sulphur ether} (Chem.), a sulphide of hydrocarbon radicals,
            formed like the ordinary ethers, which are oxides, but
            with sulphur in the place of oxygen.
  
      {Sulphur salt} (Chem.), a salt of a sulphacid; a sulphosalt.
           
  
      {Sulphur showers}, showers of yellow pollen, resembling
            sulphur in appearance, often carried from pine forests by
            the wind to a great distance.
  
      {Sulphur trioxide} (Chem.), a white crystalline solid, {SO3},
            obtained by oxidation of sulphur dioxide. It dissolves in
            water with a hissing noise and the production of heat,
            forming sulphuric acid, and is employed as a dehydrating
            agent. Called also {sulphuric anhydride}, and formerly
            {sulphuric acid}.
  
      {Sulphur whale}. (Zo[94]l.) See {Sulphur-bottom}.

      {Sulphuryl chloride}, a chloride, pungent, fuming liquid,
            {SO2.Cl2}, obtained by the action of phosphorus
            pentachloride on sulphur trioxide. On treatment with water
            it decomposes into sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, and
            is hence called also {sulphuric chloranhydride}.

      (regarded as acid ethereal salts of sulphurous acid) obtained
      by the oxidation of the mercaptans, or by treating sulphuric
      acid with certain aromatic bases (as benzene); as, phenyl
      sulphonic acid, {C6H5.SO2.OH}, a stable colorless crystalline

      (1995-04-20)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   SCSI-2
  
      A version of the {SCSI} command
      specification.
  
      SCSI-2 shares the original SCSI's {asynchronous} and
      {synchronous} modes and adds a "{Fast SCSI}" mode (<10MB/s)
      and "{Wide SCSI}" (16 bit, <20MB/s or rarely 32 bit).
  
      Another major enhancement was the definition of command sets
      for different device classes.   SCSI-1 was rather minimalistic
      in this respect which led to various incompatibilities
      especially for devices other than {hard-disk}s.   SCSI-2
      addresses that problem. allowing {scanner}s, {hard disk
      drive}s, {CD-ROM} drives, tapes and many other devices to be
      connected.
  
      Normal SCSI-2 equipment (not wide or {differential}) can be
      connected to a SCSI-1 bus and vice versa.
  
      (1995-04-19)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   SCSI-3
  
      An ongoing standardisation effort to
      extend the capabilities of {SCSI-2}.   SCSI-3's goals are more
      devices on a bus (up to 32); faster data transfer; greater
      distances between devices (longer cables); more device classes
      and command sets; structured documentation; and a structured
      {protocol} model.
  
      In SCSI-2, data transmission is parallel (8, 16 or 32 bit
      wide).   This gets increasingly difficult with higher data
      rates and longer cables because of varying signal delays on
      different wires.   Furthermore, wiring cost and drive power
      increases with wider data words and higher speed.   This has
      triggered the move to serial interfacing in SCSI-3.   By
      embedding clock information into a serial data stream signal
      delay problems are eliminated.   Driving a single signal also
      consumes less driving power and reduces connector cost and
      size.
  
      To allow for backward compatibility and for added flexibility
      SCSI-3 allows the use of several different transport
      mechanisms, some serial and some parallel.   The software
      {protocol} and command set is the same for each transport.
      This leads to a layered protocol definition similar to
      definitions found in networking.
  
      SCSI-3 is therefore in fact the sum of a number of separate
      standards which are defined by separate groups.   These
      standards and groups are currently:
  
         X3T9.2/91-13R2   SCSI-3 Generic Packetized Protocol
         X3T9.2/92-141      SCSI-3 Queuing Model
         X3T9.2/92-079      SCSI-3 Architecture Model
         IEEE P1394         High Performance Serial Bus
         X3T9.2/92-106      SCSI-3 Block Commands
         X3T9.2/91-189      SCSI-3 Serial Bus Protocol
         X3T9.2/92-105      SCSI-3 SCSI-3 Core Commands
         SCSI-3 Common Command Set
         X3T9.2/92-108      SCSI-3 Graphic Commands
         X3T9.2/92-109      SCSI-3 Medium Changer Commands
         X3T9.2/91-11      SCSI-3 Interlocked Protocol
         X3T9.2/91-10      SCSI-3 Parallel Interface
         X3T9.2/92-107      SCSI-3 Stream Commands
         SCSI-3 Scanner Commands
  
      Additional Documents for the Fibre Channel are also meant to
      be included in the SCSI-3 framework, i.e.:
  
         Fibre Channel SCSI Mapping
         Fibre Channel Fabric Requirements
         Fibre Channel Low Cost Topologies
         X3T9.3/92-007      Fibre Channel Physical and Signalling Interface
         Fibre Channel Single Byte Commands
         Fibre Channel Cross Point Switch Topology
         X3T9.2/92-103      SCSI-3 Fibre Channel Protocol (GPP & SBP)
  
      As all of this is an ongoing effort of considerable
      complexity, document structure and workgroups may change.   No
      final standard is issued yet.
  
      In the meantime a group of manufacturers have proposed an
      extension of {SCSI-2} called {Ultra-SCSI} which doubles the
      transfer speed of {Fast-SCSI} to give 20MByte/s on an 8 bit
      connection and 40MByte/s on a 16-bit connection.
