Methodology:
I reflash the Blue Pill in my BlueSCSI using Visual Code Studio, PlatformIO using the Upload task within the project, since the STM32 cube utility has never worked with my counterfeit Blue Pill (which I didn't plan on getting, it's what a generic electronics store sold me).
When the task runs without issue, it shows this, topped off with an error warning way past the upload and verification step (so I guess it's alright!)
I used SCSI Director Pro v2.17 from a FloppyEmu, so I could intercept the bootup sequence of my System Folders in my BlueSCSI drives and force the launch of SCSI Director before anything else.
Generic info, the 1 gb hda partition I tested shows up as a Quantum fireball.
Track-like seek, BEFORE <<-->> AFTER (super slight improvement - a fluke?)
SCSI Manager, BEFORE <<-->> AFTER (slight improved in the 1st sector and inner track, slight slowdown in inner rings)
SCSI Driver, BEFORE <<-->> AFTER (slight up and downs, a toss-up)
Mac OS, BEFORE <<-->> AFTER (mostly slight slowdowns)
TL;DR: the changes are probably due to the variance in measurements and there's probably very little change between versions for a Mac Plus. Perhaps the bottleneck for this system is elsewhere...
