Finally, the #MiSCUSI is released!
https://codeberg.org/hkzlab/MiSCUSI_AppleIIFor the newcomers, it's a rebuild of the Apple II #SCSI card, made with SMD components.
Tested it on my #Delta Apple //e clone with a #BlueSCSI
Thanks to #PCBWay for sponsoring this,and thanks to @DosFox for testing the PLD dumps on his card!
As usual, if you like my projects and have some credits to spare, you can throw me a few via Ko-Fi. It's not strictly necessary, but all go towards the next projects (instead of using what's left after I have fed and medicated the cat colony I inherited...).

Also related: anyone have an internal SCSI drive flat cable from the inside of a PowerBook Duo 230 or perhaps a dead Duo 230? I'd love to convert this to a BlueSCSI and get WiFi (the current drive and cable inside is IDE).

I recently acquired a Mac Plus. Taking advantage of #marchintosh, can someone make a video about putting a BlueSCSI internally on one? Extra points of you show how to configure and install a ROMinator. Please? 🥺🙏 #apple #macintosh #macplus

The two cards fit together snuggly and just barely fit inside the CDTV expansion slot. Power is tapped from the CDTV SCSI card. I used Kapton tape on the back just in case. And it worked, first try! Only trick is removing the card so I threaded some loose cable around the 50 pin connector to pull the card out.

@nulleric well, I just had a quick google search and I found #Adaptec documentation for #ASPI.
So I'm wondering if I could interface that using #OpenWatcom and a simple text UI...
I've never done low level #SCSI programming, but I should have an Adaptec card somewhere and I could rip out my #BlueSCSI out of my mac...
Should be an interesting little project,, but I don't know when I might find some time for that... -

I receive this converter today theoretically, I hope it will work while waiting for a confirmation of compatibility of the #BlueSCSI with the AKAI DPS 16.
The only thing missing is the cable from the AKAI to this converter, which I haven't found yet. :0)

My #GlobalTalk setup has now moved to a Proxmox VM (Devuan Linux), so it won't interfere with my other stuff on my home server.
I now have a #netatalk server for file sharing and the #GlobalTalk router in a qemu m68k "VM".
It runs fine, thank you to all GlobalTalk people who make this possible!
In the next days, I will explore the GlobalTalk world from my #Performa 475, which is now running fine with MacOS 7.6.1 on a #BlueSCSI v2 and an Asante Ethernet card :) -

I have continued futzing around with the #Apple #Macintosh #PowerBook 145B. My weekend project was to remove the ancient, decrepit SCSI hard drive (functional, but loud as heck) and replace it with the #Androda #BlueSCSI, a custom PCB with a Raspberry Pi Pico W attached to it. (The Pi Pico W also gives the PowerBook an internal WiFi connection, something the original never had.)
Fortunately I already have some experience working with .hda disk image files from last year's #PiSCSI project, so I had some ready-made virtual hard disks loaded with software I've barely touched.
Today at @mediaarchaeologylab I found a floppy disk for the 1995 Norton Disk Editor, a low-level diagnostic tool that I can't imagine there was much consumer demand for. The disk editor contains some hidden gems of MacIntosh lore I was previously unaware of.
The UI says "The Disk Type bytes identify the type of Macintosh file system in use on the volume. If the bytes are $D2D7 (or 'RW' - standing for Randy Wigginton) then the volume is an MFS volume. If the Disk Type bytes are $4244 (standing for 'BD' or "Big Disk") then the volume is an HFS volume."
(Edit: I don't know if Apple had its own version of ASCII, but while in traditional ASCII hex 0x4244 = "BD," ASCII hex values for "RW" would be 0x5257, not 0xD2D7, so that's...weird)
Randy was employee number 6 at Apple, and a neighbor of Woz. Turning your initials into magic bytes buried in the filesystem you designed seems just so...early Apple.
The PowerBook is now completely silent when it runs. It doesn't have an internal fan. The hard drive motor was the only thing that made any noise (aside from the speaker, of course).
And the BlueSCSI? With a 128GB MicroSD card, it has about 1600 times as much storage as that old 80MB hard drive.

New Video! 👇🏻
My Apple Macintosh LC III restore video has been posted, in which I:
✅ Install a #BlueSCSI w/ Classic Mac OS 7.6.1
✅ Service a floppy drive
✅ Get an Apple IIe Card working
✅ Install an FPU chip -
Woohoo it fits #Macintosh #Quadra / #Centris 610 / #PowerMacintosh 6100 3.5” drive sled.
I have to figure out where to put the screw bosses for the PiSCSI and BlueSCSI but that won’t be long. probably up on printables.com tomorrow.

@chrisgervais That’s helpful to hear! My #MARCHintosh2023 project is also to get Copland running on a Powermac 6100/60, and I was wondering if I could BlueSCSI it or would need to go find a real HDD. Off to RePC to buy a physical drive, I guess. 💸
