Found it.

SCSI Narrow

      This term refers to the 1 byte wide data bus on a 50-pin parallel 
interface
      that is defined in the ANSI standard SCSI-1 (X3.131-1986).  The narrow
      bus consists of 8 data lines with parity, a series of control lines 
and the
      matching ground lines.  Seagate designates a narrow SCSI interface with
      an "n" in the model number.

They even had a picture, which made it all much more clear to me. Apparently
I hadn't searched quite as thoroughly as I'd thought.  It really does look 
quite
different from what I envision when I think "SCSI", which is typically 
something
more along the lines of  the SCSI-II interface that the external cdrom drive is
hooked to.

I thank you all who replied to me. I appreciate it.
