SCSI-Emulation: BlueSCSI V2026.03.01

BlueSCSI is a SCSI hardware replacement for the Amiga and other retro systems. It emulates SCSI drives such as hard disks or optical drives using the Pi Pico PR2040 and Pico 2 RP2350. The recently released firmware version 2026.03.01-RC2 for BlueSCSI v2 and Ultra/Ultra Wide includes bug fixes and enhancements, and in particular significant optimizations for WLAN speed and AmigaNET support.

Here are the reconstructed schematics of the #apple2 #SCSI Rev.C card:

These will be the base for a clone I'll work on soon (SMD based, someone else is taking care of the THT).

Given that everything you see inside the repo is taken from the community, I am giving it back, in case someone else wants to have fun with the schematic and use it as a base for some #retrocomputing project.

Just be aware that I do NOT own a card, so I could not check every connection personally. Hopefully it's correct.

EDIT: It has found a home.

Free to a good home: A SCSI ribbon cable with connectors for 6 drives. It has 68-pin adaptors on two and a terminator at the end.

EDIT: It has found a home!

Free to a good home: A SCSI ribbon cable that accommodates three drives. The way it's folded on itself made me think it came out of a 7600, but I don't think the space between the drive connectors would allow it to reach all three SCSI bays. đŸ€”

EDIT: They have found a new home.

Free to a good home: Two SCSI ribbon cables that accommodate two drives. One is Apple branded. The other has a longer gap between the drive connectors, but is slightly shorter between the motherboard and the first drive.

Im running Ubuntu 18.04, not sure if SCSI Support is in the kernel of this version or not, if not please let me know. I have a PCI AHA-2940w SE Legacy SCSI Controller Card Installed on the ISA PCI ...

Dumping data from an old SCSI Mac harddrive. Wish me luck!

Een couple of my DVDs containing some of my Open Source distributions.

I deliberately did not go back to the CD era, otherwise I would be forced to use the DSLR with a 14mm Ultra Ultra wide lens.
Even with that marvelous lens I would still not be able to capture all the CDs displayed

Every time I think I have all possible #scsi peripherals and converters I find a new combination I don't have.

Turns out I have SCA to UW converters, but not UW to SCA... And 3 guesses which I needed to put an extra drive in my #hpux machine...

Sigh... Sometimes I think USB is bad...
