ISM Book Chapter 5: Direct-Attached Storage and Introduction to SCSI

Sorry I've been slacking on posting review questions from the ISM book, but I'm back this week with a pretty easy question from Chapter 5:

A UNIX host has a path to a storage device that includes the following:

c0 t1 d3

What does this mean? Please provide reasons to justify your answer. As always, extra points for including diagrams!

Old timers, let the newbies take a crack at it first..once we get the answer feel free to jump in and bring us up to speed on some of the history and other technical details.
