On Saturday's noon EDT stream, we're going to see if we can get any acceleration out of a Macintosh Display Card 8•24 GC that is missing cache chips (and has other issues). I'll also be showing off a new trick that BlueSCSI can do- functioning as a video card! #vintagemacintosh #bluescsi https://youtube.com/live/r5RdXcxygGc?feature=share

Our v2/Ultra #BlueSCSI wiki has been edited 1000x by 100+ people! We do our best to keep docs updated, but it takes a village. Thanks to everyone who contributed and to everyone who will!
Our community is great - come join in on the fun.

Is there any trick to make a CD image work with #BlueSCSI? I placed a 7.5.3 CD ISO on it, it’s recognized properly according to the log, but when any Mac tries to boot from it, a Sad Mac with codes 0000000F 00000001 appears (bus error).

We now have 3000 members in our Open Retro Storage discord! We discuss open retro storage solutions like #bluescsi, #piscsi and #picoide.
Can remember years ago when it was just 10 or so people, my how retro has grown.

The new revision of the #MiSCUSI SCSI card for #apple2 works! (Almost fully SMD SCSI card with active termination)
This one uses CMOS 53C80 controllers (easier to get in PLCC format than the NMOS ones, tested several zilog and an AMD one), replaces the 'LS133 with something cheaper to get and shuffles around some components.
I was even able to test the fuse protection 😬It's currently running some games on my Delta Apple2e clone using #BlueSCSI .

Pico-mac with audio has been published
https://github.com/retrotheory/pico-macThis is for Pico 2, not tested on Pico 1.
Includes PWM or DAC based audio specify at build time. Its the same DAC thats used by #bluescsI cd audio.
Includes work on the submodule
https://github.com/retrotheory/umac ,updated for 464K support and patched audio addressing. -

Mac Plus board booting 7.1 for the first time ever (since it never had enough RAM do it since this week) from a #BlueSCSI (thank you so much @onegeekarmy!) and running the things that matter! 😁

@arroz @_the_cloud @cdfinder @Cdespinosa @onegeekarmy You got a floppy to work!?🙌🥳 I just found that old dirty floppies may cause destruction of others - seems cleaning between each on might be a good policy.
#BlueSCSI is magical! It took me a while to understand the boot process. Finally found the preinstalled images. It's fun how I was able to plug into the back of a zip drive. I'm back in the world of system 6 before Multifinder😱 - I could run 7 but some files are too old to open there.

Finally got an old Mac SE booted with #BlueSCSI into 7.5.3 using a pre-installed image! ... With Extensions off🤨
It's “fun" to remember that SCSI is NOT plug & play.
Once in a while I get a floppy disk or a Zip disk to actually work. Some stuff is too old to work so I have to go back to 6.0.8 before Multifinder 😲😵

Big #BlueSCSI update yesterday with tons of improvements, but one of the nicest for end users is: You can now update BlueSCSI directly from your vintage computer! Use the latest BlueSCSI Toolbox beta + this release. FW updates from retro.bluescsi.com (no https) github.com/BlueSCSI/Blu...

BlueSCSI and BlueSCSI Ultra Wide got me feeling anything but blue. Funny how that works. 😏🤔

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...).

GlobalTalk admins using non-standard Ethernet interfaces in System 7.1...
Can you please PM a screenshot of your Network and MacTCP settings (first screen only for MacTCP, examples attached) – 1 bit B/W preferred.
I'm wanting to make my AIR manual addendum, and GlobalTalk setup instructions and files more generic.
I'd also be interested in which Ethernet drivers were necessary to get your interface to work with AIR under System 7.1.
Lastly, I'm interested in having a chat with users of Snow, mini vMac, Basilisk II, and other non-QEMU emulators about GlobalTalk connection requirements and setup in System 7.1.
I will credit contributions, of course!
Thank you, and boosts appreciated!

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.

This is what this #BlueSCSI does
edit: counting on an ASCII/Binary table looks like the 5th bit is dropped out
