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!

Thick Client

If you'd like to run an app instead of using WebUSB you can use the BlueSCSI PowerView app here (Coming soon).
