BlueSCSI v2 Pico - Low cost, open hardware, fast SCSI device!

So would it be with the BIN files inside the ZIP, or you are working on BIN updates for a future release. They are at the 2026.03.01 level now and just don't want to open the case if they can avoid it. Should have snaked out a usb cable IMO...

Yes the bin files are the same bin files that were available before, just in a zip so people dont have to choose.

Hi there, not sure if this is of interest to you all, but I recently moved one of my BlueSCSI v2 units into a 486SLC with an Adaptec 1542. I installed Slackware 3.6 on it just for some nostalgia and it worked really well, but I wanted DaynaPORT SCSI/Link support, so I wrote a new driver for the Linux Kernel 2.0 series to do just that. It's working pretty well! Getting about 65kB/sec down.

I might try an old 68k Debian release next in my Quadra 605 to see if the driver works on that hardware as well. I think it will, as it's a pretty high-level driver but I guess we'll see!

Here's the code if anyone is interested. Full disclosure: I'm a software engineer but not an experienced Linux kernel contributor, so I used Claude Code to fill in some of my knowledge gaps. Use at your own risk!
