Hey, gang! I had a chance to tinker around with the new Xdrive mass storage card for the Apple II (from JD Micro and MacEffects) and found it to be a breath of fresh air compared to other similar USB based mass storage solutions for the Apple II.
Big take aways are that it's got great write...

If you run into Jeremy's Retro Bar today, be sure to congratulate him on being the owner of the WORLD'S FIRST "Darth Vader" iMac G3! Many thanks to Mark from @MacEffects for letting us test out this newly created black replacement bezel. It's AMAZING!

A new line of scalers - MacPicoVid!

Also, you REALLY need to change the name of this thread. It implies the BlueSCSI did something to your machine... when it's really "I didn't read the directions."
To be so bold, what is actually on the drive (that doesn't exist in a backup) that would make paying thousands of dollars for data recovery look like the only option?
If it's just "Because that's the software that has the machine booting," there are a dozen ways to recover from that. System...
