Hi, I have a BlueSCSI V2 PowerBook edition, with Pico W, hardware version 2023.10a I think. I've hooked up a little piezo buzzer to the LED solder pads and this gives me feedback as to when the SD card is being accessed, which is really useful; I find the silence of solid state drives to be unnerving as I can't tell if the machine is hung or not.

The problem is that when I access the internet through the DaynaPort emulated device, any send and receive activity is also heard through the buzzer. I'd like to only hear the buzzer for the SD card though. Is there any way to set this?

The LED is directly driven by the SCSI activity line as there are only so many pins on the Pi Pico so you will get a blink/buzz for each time it is accessed. The daynaport driver works by polling the bus so you will hear/see that each time.
