BlueSCSI is an open source, open hardware, and open design SCSI solution for vintage computers. It’s designed to replace a SCSI hard drive inside of your vintage computer or device, but it can also do so much more!

@persistent.infoReposted by @bluescsi.comI've switched over Infinite Mac's classic Mac emulation to recently-released and awesome Snow, which unblocks A/UX emulation: infinitemac.org?filter=aux
There's a behind-the-scenes blog post at blog.persistent.info/2026/09/infi... detailing this and other site updates.
@bigbadbiologist.bsky.socialReposted by @bluescsi.comLet's try to repair the bad serial port on this IBM PS/2 Model 50z. You're not going to want to miss the gut-wrenching pain from the hard drive noise in this thing! Maybe we can get a BlueSCSI working in it if the drive is fully toast. Today (Sep 21) at 1PM EDT. #IBMPS2 youtube.com/live/oHBryq4...
@bluescsi.comWhat's the issue? How can I help? A v2 should be able to max out the 10MB/sec bus on that G3 and I use it for bench testing quite a bit. If you want to open a github discussion or jump on our discord it'd be a bit easier than here - but we should be able to get you going!
@bluescsi.comCome see the BlueSCSI booth and a lot of other cool stuff in Kate & Veronica's video/podcast!
@wiscomputerclub.bsky.socialReposted by @bluescsi.comMad props to @museumjoe.bsky.social for the awesome BlueSCSI drive that has brought the club's traveling Macintosh Classic 2 back to life! 🥳
@potatofi.bsky.socialReposted by @bluescsi.comTable secured! @jeffgeerling.com's NTP showcase inspired me, I think I'll do vintage Wi-Fi (BlueSCSI + PC cards) clients, connecting to an AirPort, going across 56k to get out to the internet.
With my vintage gear in storage on another continent, I'm piecing together something with what I have. 👍
@bluescsi.comDoors are open come by and say hi #vcfmw
@mejs.mastodon.vladovince.com.ap.brid.gyReposted by @bluescsi.comI was successful imaging the drive but it required A LOT of meticulous work to get it working well enough to copy with my trusty #bluescsi
@mac84.bsky.socialReposted by @bluescsi.comI'm doing a YouTube Premiere in 35 minutes, stop by and say hi in the chat! 👋🍿
@bluescsi.compoint it at the http, ftp, and gopher site to download it ;) (all from the same origin haha)
@mac84.bsky.socialReposted by @bluescsi.comToday we're going to (try) and repair some things before VCF Midwest.
Also, I'm starting a month-long fundraiser to help a wonderful animal rescue organization, you can donate directly via the YouTube Giving function on the stream.
Going live in about 30 min! 🐶

@yyzkevin.comReposted by @bluescsi.com@bluescsi.comNormal people don't like navigating github - so in our effort to ensure everyone can find what they need easily we've created a Downloads page for the latest firmware and BlueSCSI Toolbox - check it out bluescsi.com/downloads
@bluescsi.comIt’s not a network share it’s a folder on the sd. And yes it’s available since 2022 or so and now on many platforms bluescsi.com/docs/Toolbox...
I’ll update the doc page you linked. Note 99.9% of the time you don’t need to do any with an ini file. Defaults are fine
@reimu.infoReposted by @bluescsi.comDynaport driver installed, now I have WiFi on my quadra 630
@jeffgeerling.comReposted by @bluescsi.comA little Mac SE/30 surgery leading up to #VCFMW 21! <2 weeks remaining until VCF Midwest 😬
@eric.scsi.blueReposted by @bluescsi.comHuge PiSCSI release - biggest is moving away from the install compiling/downloading anything - web/control rewritten in go + a ton of other features/fixes github.com/PiSCSI/piscs...
@bluescsi.comThe flashing X is key here - means it's trying to boot off the floppy but is failing. It might think a disk is stuck in there, they almost always need service. Likely need a recap of the logic and PSU. Try unplugging the floppy drive and just boot off the BlueSCSI to rule the floppy in/out.
@bluescsi.comBlueSCSI's been around for almost 6 years now - and we've had a lot of first and milestones in that time. If you're new to the project or just haven't been keeping up checkout bluescsi.com/milestones
What's your favorite? Any you didn't know about?
