Any BlueSCSI v2 or Ultra can emulate a PowerView SCSI Video card for Macintosh.

The PowerView SCSI Video card allowed many Macintosh computers to have a second monitor over SCSI.

NOTE: This feature is in private beta till we get a few more testers.

Setup

Create a file on the root of your SD card named VD3.hda for a PowerView on SCSI ID 3.

Connect your BlueSCSI via USB to the modern computer you'd like to use as a screen. BlueSCSI does not (yet) have a direct to VGA solution so you will use a modern laptop, desktop, phone, or tablet as your second screen.

Install the PowerView extension.

NOTE: If you want wider support you must use the BlueSCSI Patched PowerView extension (Download link coming soon)

Reboot

Web Client

On your modern device goto https://bluescsi.com/powerview/ and hit connect. If all went right you'll see your second monitor!

Native Client

If you'd like to run a native (Mac/Win/Linux) app instead of using WebUSB you can use the BlueSCSI PowerView app here (Coming soon).
