User came on Discord today complaining how hard it was to configure RAW mode on BlueSCSI - they were right! So I automated it all. Seems samplers users like the RAW partitioned SD workflow instead of images. This also allows you to pop in a SCSI2SD card into your BlueSCSI for a easy upgrade.

Here we see @jokker115.bsky.social SGI O2 maxing out around 16.82MB/sec on a BlueSCSI v2 fitted with a Pico2, which is pretty great real world performance on a 20MB/sec FAST20 bus. If you have an early/mid 90’s workstation, BlueSCSI v2 with a Pico 2 (3/6)

Did you know #BlueSCSI powered Street Fighter 3 Third Strike on the #CPS3 systems at the Evo Championships tournament in Las Vegas last year? Was awesome to see BlueSCSI at such a *huge* event! Some pics from Brian of paradisearcadeshop.com of the setup and custom BlueSCSI silk screen.

How does this #BlueSCSI case look? Playing with multiple filiment printing on the bambu, think this looks pretty sweet! Thanks to @javmaster.bsky.social for the model and @gutbomb.net for help with the retool for good looking multi color print! Mouse pad is by @mac84.bsky.social

Congrats to the Raspberry Pi foundation on the release of the Pico 2 W (Wi-Fi)! #BlueSCSI already runs on the Pico 2- and I just ordered 5 to test and validate WiFi works on these new boards. Don't rush out and get a Pico2W for your BlueSCSI - not much to gain yet - but stay tuned!

Here's the same in Initiator mode - you can run arbitrary SCSI commands against a target for a more fine grained and forensic investigation on how your SCSI device works. Very advanced feature but will give people imaging/archiving retro SCSI devices a lot more power with an inexpensive #BlueSCSI

Sneak peek at a console into your BlueSCSI - these are advanced feature for sure but is the groundwork for some cool stuff planned to allow more remote configuration and management of your #BlueSCSI Currently allows you to: Eject, Disable, List, Toggle Settings, Reboot Any more ideas? (1/2)
