  Host adapter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The host adapter bridges the physical and logical chasm that separates the SCSI bus from the host computer's internal bus.
Modern host adapters contain all the electronics and firmware required to execute SCSI transactions, and often include a BIOS that not only allows the host system to boot from a SCSI device, but also facilitates configuration of the host adapter.
Each HBA has a unique World Wide Name (WWN), which is similar to an Ethernet MAC address in that it uses an OUI assigned by the IEEE.

 Bus Adapters Information on GlobalSpec
PCI bus adapters transfer 32 or 64 bits of data at a clock speed of 33 MHz and support three to five critical peripherals, which integrate either directly onto the motherboard or via expansion cards.
Bus adapters also differ according to the number of terminating connections or the range of acceptable ports or slots that can be added to the system.
PCMCIA bus adapters are cards that plug into a 68-pin host socket connected either to the motherboard or to an expansion.
