  1. @peterbreuer.bsky.social Früher habe ich #SCSI-Adapter selbergelötet und gecrimped. Und Adapter für die serielle Schnittstelle, Nullmodems usw.

  2. Great, the routing for the 53C80 / '133-free #MiSCUSI (#Apple2 #SCSI yada yada) has been completed.

    There are some things I want to tweak now, then the fill zones to prepare and tidy up, but I expect the prototype to be ready for a production test within the week.

    But this is enough retroing for today: loads of other work to do before the end of the day.

  3. Open source A4091/A4092 software package: Version 42.37

    For ReA4091, the open source replica of Commodore's Fast SCSI2 controller A4091, as well as for its modern successor A4092, an open source software package is also available, which includes AmigaOS drivers, a ROM image, a test program and software for debugging the driver.

  7. Finally, the #MiSCUSI is released!
    codeberg.org/hkzlab/MiSCUSI_Ap

    For 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...).

  8. Some bodging to rectify my fuckup and...
    The MiSCUSI (#Apple2 #SCSI card) works!!!

    Which means that I just need some minor rerouting and I can get ready for a rev.1 release. And then for a 53C80 (MUCH easier to obtain) release too!

  9. A4092: A modern successor to the A4091 SCSI-2 controller

    The term "A4092" has already come up in connection with the software package for the open-source recreation of Commodore's Fast-SCSI2 controller A4091. Now, this equally open-source, completely redesigned Zorro III SCSI-2 controller for the Amiga 4000 and Amiga 3000 is officially unveiled at the title link with the promise: "Everything you need, nothing you don’t."

  13. Last update for couple of days, checked the software and we seem to be missing most packages. I have now downloaded the most recent software release so let's see if we can upgrade.

    Problem with upgrading is, you need a SCSI CD-Rom drive

  14. Image created, no lost or bad blocks, we have an image we can always recover now

  15. The PCI to SCSi adapter has also arrived and everything is connected together ready to go into the computer.

    The drive is a medalist ST34520N, its 5GB in size.

  16. Turns out its not , its not even 40 pins, the analyzer uses a 3.5 inch 50-pin connector.

    Possible options, SCSI to USB converter with the necessary 3.5 inch 50-pin to high density 50 pin adapter. This option probably is not going to work very well.

    Alternatively we buy a second hand PCI (not PCIe) SCSI adapter and use that on an old machine to make an image.

    For this last solution I have high hopes. Currently looking at an Adaptec AHA-2940 or 2904

  17. 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.

  18. Here are the reconstructed schematics of the #apple2 #SCSI Rev.C card:
    codeberg.org/hkzlab/AppleII_SC

    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.

  19. 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. :apple_inc:

  20. 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. 🤔 :apple_inc:

  21. 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. :apple_inc:

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

    #RetroComputing #Apple #SCSI

  23. 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...

    #retrocomputing

  24. Installing #OpenStep or #Rhapsody for x86 includes „You need a shittier #SCSI host adapter“, two bad floppy drives and a Kernel Panic 🙄

    It was easier when I just had a weak AHA-2940 and a Sym53C810 instead of that pile of fancy UltraWide stuff. #scsinightmare

  25. EDIT: It has found a home.

    Free to a good home: One Hewlett Packard C2262A Storage System with seven SCSI drive bays. Two are currently populated by hard drives, one by a caddy-loading CD reader, and one by a tape drive. The faceplate of the CD reader had been held on by masking tape. 💿

  26. Guía para construir un Amiga 4000T desde cero

    John “Chucky” Hertell ha publicado la primera y segunda parte de una guía técnica para construir un Amiga 4000T desde cero, con enfoque totalmente práctico y avisando que no dará soporte a quienes se desvíen del montaje indicado.

    La primera parte recomienda empezar por las daughterboards: placa de conectores y Drive I/O (terminación SCSI, disquetera, lógica 74LS) y la placa de Audio/Video (chips de señal como el CXA1263AM y jumpers para audio de CD). Se destaca un punto crítico: los conectores DSUB requieren modificar sus laterales para encajar. También se detalla el cableado, con dos ribbon cables de 40 pines de longitudes exactas: 20 cm (SHORT) y 25 cm (LONG), conectados según etiquetas para evitar daños en chips como Paula o las CIAs.

    La segunda parte entra en la motherboard, donde la alimentación con fuente AT exige seguir la regla de “cable negro al centro” para no quemar la placa. Hertell remarca la soldadura de zócalos PLCC como principal fuente de fallos y propone avances por hitos: comprobar sincronismo tras montar chips como LISA/ALICE/FAT GARY, ajustar el jumper del reloj CPU (INT/EXT según CPU/aceleradora) y usar DiagROM para pruebas iniciales. Finalmente se cubren memoria (hasta 16 MB de Fastmem en placa), recomendaciones de terminación SCSI y detalles de Kickstart 40.70.

  27. Что делать, если нужно одно решение, чтобы править всеми СХД? Выбираем CSI-драйвер: от вендора или универсальный

    Команда Deckhouse Storage рассказала о поддерживаемых в наших платформах CSI с использованием реализаций от вендора (для платформ Huawei, HPE, NetApp и Yadro), а также о собственном универсальном CSI-драйвере csi-scsi-generic, который поддерживает интеграцию с любыми системами хранения данных.

  28. 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.

  29. Well.. one year later, still doesn't find the good SCSI cable to do what I want. Plug a SCSI Hard Drive to it/ or a CDROM Recorder (better Hard Drive).

    If someone can help.. :0)
