What's Changed

Another huge release for BlueSCSI v2! New profiles include NeXT and X68000-SCSI, and X68000-SASI. You can now cycle through folders of any type of removable SCSI device. Merged in the well tested Amiga drivers from beta.

Better info in logs and continued refinements to speed and resiliency of SD card access.

Oh and if you didn't see we have a stable Pico2 build if you'd like to try that out!

Plus, a whole lot more!

Full Changelog: v2024.05.21...v2024.09.15

v2024.05.21

In this release

New Toolbox Platforms

BlueSCSI Toolbox is now on 4 platforms: Classic Mac, Amiga, DOS, and NeXT (in pre-release)

See the BlueSCSI Toolbox wiki page for the details.

@stinkerton18 also created a pre-made DOS image ready to boot your SCSI DOS System which you can find on our Images page

iomega ZIP disk support

BlueSCSI now emulates iomega ZIP 100 disks! the new ZP prefix is used. Disk Jockey (thanks @OneGeekArmy !) has already added support for creating these disks (they need to be of an exact size to work) - We've also included blank ZIP images on the Mega drive.

This has been tested on the Roland 808 and Roland/Edirol A6 samplers and Macintosh.

Updated Hardware (Centronics 50)

New version of C50, shorter and with options for voltage regulator @androda

Logging

DebugLogMask now allows you to filter the Debug logs to one device using a mask.

v2023.10.12

What's new!

Add SCSI ethernet support, emulating a Dayna SCSI/Link by @jcs in #59

BlueSCSI can emulate a SCSI Network adapter if you have a Pico-W! Full details here: https://github.com/BlueSCSI/BlueSCSI-v2/wiki/WiFi-DaynaPORT

Initiator mode support by @androda in #80

Initiator mode allows BlueSCSI to clone drives without a host computer. BlueSCSI will act as the initiator and clone the drive the the SD Card. Usability improvements were made the the cloning process to avoid bad or partial clones.

Note Initiator does require a hardware update - which you can read about here https://androda.work/bluescsi-initiator-mode-and-stock-update/

Documentation: https://github.com/BlueSCSI/BlueSCSI-v2/wiki/Initiator-Mode
