I'm quite firmly in the ZuluSCSI camp when it comes to SCSI to SD solutions.

But I got this assembled BlueSCSI V2 board, courtesy of GrahamTinkers, so I guess there's a first time for everything? I needed network connectivity for another system, so I did a quick & dirty soldering of two row of pins to a Pico W, and with DaynaPort WiFi emulation, here we go.

I still wish the ZuluSCSI OSHW boards were more readily available as kits though... 😐

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

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....
