It's a _very_ fast SCSI standard.

I think sometime around '97, '98.

7500's have SCSI 2 like my 9600.  I get real world 2-4 MB/second between
volumes on my Seagate Barracuda Ultra160LW over the stock SCSI 2. 
That's still too slow for good video (9-15 MB/s).  You might want to
check out the "SCSI pages of doom" at MacGurus.com.
