As @Mu0n aptly said "Did not have active NeXT development in my 2024 bingo card" There's been a bunch of BlueSCSI NeXT users hanging out on the OpenRetro SCSI Discord and I thought... I wonder how hard it would be to write the BlueSCSI Toolbox apps for NeXT... First - I don't have a NeXT...

Hey everyone! I'm having a very difficult time with a BlueSCSI v2 (with Pico-W) I got from Joe's Computer Museum a few months ago which I'm only now having time to set up. I've installed it into my SE/30 in place of a SCSI2SD v5.2 which was in there previously. This is my first BlueSCSI product...

Hi I'm trying to set up the Wifi on a Mac SE30 using a BlueSCSI v2. I put my SSID and password in the ini file. When I start the Mac, I tried the MacTCP but it doesn't work. Looking at the log file, I'm getting the following: * ID: 4, Type: Network, Quirks: Apple .. Wi-Fi MAC: ... Connecting...

This is a bit more of a mini-rant at the rather abhorrent state and experiences I've had with the real mode drivers for Adaptec's older, non-PCI cards. Comments/suggestions are of course welcomed, more wanting to share my experiences in hopes that maybe I can spare someone else this same pain...

I'm frustrated. 😤 Finally have everything to bring my PowerBook 165 back to life: Recapped LCD and inverter board, new power supply, J-B Welded hinge screw posts on the lid (plus two spare 3D-printed post assemblies, just in case.) I decided to spend this morning trying to put it all back...

Hello, I managed to connect my Mac SE to the Internet thanks to the latest BlueSCSI v2 DB25). I'm using Mosaic browser as I didn't manage to install Netscape using the provided drive or using any version from MacGarden. If anyone has succeeded in installing and using any Netscape version with...

Hello! First post, pleased to meet you. I am the caretaker of a Macintosh SE/30 from 1989, and a lovely girl she is. Next time I have hand surgery (uh... tomorrow actually), I am blocking eBay on my router, because I have low impulse control when bored and on pain meds. Petey (Pencil Test, or...

Why? To hear the miniscribe sounds while I use my blueScsi wtf? My miniscribe never worked and I gave up on it, so I figured I’d try to drive the stepper motor with some modern circuitry with the hope being that one day I could signal it by the activity indicator on a blueSCSI. how’s it going...

I'm pleased to announce that the BlueSCSI now supports DaynaPORT network emulation over the Pico-W WiFi interface! This has been in the works for a few months now and lead by @jcs with help from @Androda, @jokker and myself. Also huge shout out to Tony from @landogriffin for doing the initial...

I picked up a SE/30 that had some pretty significant capacitor leak damage. I had a transistor at Q3 fall off the board from corrosion. I didn't initially see it, but I had pin rot on UE8 that lead to a jail bar pattern on the screen. I replaced Q3, and installed a brand new UE8, and the...

Hello everyone, I apologise if I'm posting in the wrong forum. I need some help on troubleshooting BlueSCSI with a MAC Classic. I have a MAC Classic with 4MB RAM and a 40MB hard disk which is working fine and boots OK, both from it's internal hard disk and from an external SCSI hard disk...

So, I recently learned that the TAM (Twentieth Anniversary Mac) can run BeOS. The person who was running it said you can run BeOS Pro on the TAM, so I figured I'd give it a go. Well, similar to my challenging experience getting it installed on my PowerMac 6400, I struggled a bit and figured it...

(Also posted on 68kMLA) Hi everyone, I received my BlueSCSI recently from Bruce at RecapAMac in Australia, and I found that no matter what SD card I use, it always seems to run in half SPI speed (25MHz). While the speed difference isn't noticeable according to the creator of the BlueSCSI, it...

Overview The Mac 128k, 512k, and Plus did not have an internal SCSI connector on the mobo. Yet, back in the day, there were solutions. Now, I think there is a great potential to bring that back to use SCSI drives inside those older compact Macs. :) This thread will be the discussion and...
