WLAN driver: DaynaPORT 1.5
Robert Smith's driver uses the WLAN emulation available in the SD-based SCSI 'drives' ZuluSCSI and BlueSCSI to connect any Amiga with a SCSI host to the network. Changes in version 1.5:
- Open multiple times
- Timer crash on exit (CheckIO check fix)
- 16bit read/write calls
- Aggressive mode to reduce wait times -
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...).

SCSI emulation: BlueSCSI-Toolbox v1.3
The BlueSCSI Toolbox combines two utilities for managing a BlueSCSI V2 or ZuluSCSI in an Amiga: the CD changer makes it possible to switch between CD ISO images on the SD card during operation. The SD transfer tool can be used to transfer files from the SD card to the Amiga.
The new version 1.3 contains various corrections by Stefan Reinauer and also offers support for 68000 CPUs.

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.

Great work by @jcs.org for a HUGE improvement to #BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Speed- will be in the next release but did a quick pre-release build with his branch if you want to try it out today!
> The result of all that debugging is a 691% speed-up in #EtherTalk speed when going over BlueSCSI Wi-Fi - via jcs
Oh and @twvd already merged these fixes into SnowEmu for a much faster experience there as well!

Testing my BlueSCSIv2 with obscure Amiga hardware - this is the Masoboshi MasterCard MC-702, a combined SCSI and IDE controller for the Amiga 2000 from 1992 or thereabouts. I'm trying to get this to play nice with N2630 accelerator card I recently built. In theory I guess it should be ok to run the lide.device IDE driver on the N2630 along the MASOBOSHI.device driver from this card, but I'm running into a few snags. Some games installed on the BlueSCSI won't run, but I can store stuff and run simple programs. At this point I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is the MC-702 having issues with the BlueSCSI, or trouble on the Amiga side of things. Next up is to try out what I really want to use the BlueSCSI for in this setup - CD images and transferring files to the system via the SD card. #Amiga #amiga2000 #retrocomputing #BlueSCSI

User came on Discord today complaining how hard it was to configure RAW mode on BlueSCSI - they were right! So I automated it all.
Seems samplers users like the RAW partitioned SD workflow instead of images.
This also allows you to pop in a SCSI2SD card into your BlueSCSI for a easy upgrade.

Again on the #powerbook 170: i'm trying to understand how the heck should I set the #bluescsi #termination #jumpers. The website http://dehij.hiddej.nl/ is offline. I could find it on the #waybackmachine , but it doesn't load...
BTW, I found a schematic on https://github.com/dehij/powerbook-bluescsi . That's the v2 schematic, but it seems very similar to the v1.1a I've got (they changed only some footprints, I believe). I see I can, using the jumpers, set the #SCSI #SCSI_IO pin to 5v, to ground or to #TERM_PWR (that's another SCSI pin). I unerstand I should terminate the bus, as there's no other devices connected, but I really have no clue on how I should set those jumpers.... -

Six months after the #HP 715/80, I now have its successor, the #Visualize B180L+, up and running.
It runs at 180MHz and has 1MB of L2 external cache and 256MB of RAM.Unfortunately, the original hard drive is dead and I don't have any other Ultra-Wide-SE drive, so I put a #bluescsi on the Narrow-SE bus.
I am incredibly lucky that the video cable has not been lost after all these years! The video connector looks a lot like DVI but is actually EVC, not quite the same.

With the help of Mac Color Classic and BlueSCSI, the 1988 sources of a truss editor could be revived and compiled in Think Lightspeed Pascal. This involved OCR of old printouts, lots of corrections, and using leftover resources from a much later (but incomplete) C++ version. TrussMe was my first Mac Toolbox GUI program, heavily inspired by MacPaint and MacDraw.
