BlueSCSI v2 Desktop

 36,00 64,00

To be used internally with a 50-pin SCSI cable, typically to replace the SCSI hard drive of an older computer (like a Macintosh).

This model has configurable SCSI termination through a jumper, and an LED pin to connect an existing hard drive activity LED.

It also features Initiator Mode, which lets BlueSCSI communicate directly with other SCSI devices, without the need for a host (like a computer). Very useful to create direct copies of existing SCSI hard drives!

We are selling revision 2023_10a of the hardware.

NOTE: Due to a temporary shortage of Pico W without soldered headers, we’ll be including Pico W with soldered headers in our kits. They are slightly more expensive (sorry).

Description

Fully Assembled Version

The fully assembled version comes fully tested and ready to use. Just provide an SD card.

Kit Version

In the kit version, the SMD parts come already soldered. All you have left to solder are the header pins, the Berg and the SCSI connector. These are through-hole parts, and it’s fairly easy to do if you have some soldering practice.

You may also exclude the Raspberry Pi Pico completely, in which case you’ll have to supply your own, as well as headers for it.

Pico Type

You have a choice of either a traditional Raspberry Pi Pico, or a Raspberry Pi Pico W (wireless).

The wireless version is needed to take advantage of the DaynaPORT Wifi feature: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/bluescsi-v2-daynaport-wifi-beta.2857/

Note: the Desktop version of BlueSCSI is typically used internally, inside a casing that shields its contents from the outside world, including radio signals. This means that the Pico W might have a hard time communicating over Wi-Fi over medium to long distances.

The Pico will be flashed with the latest version of the firmware at the time of ordering.

Printed Tray

You may choose to add a 3D-printed tray to your BlueSCSI Desktop. There are two kinds:

  • The regular tray, available in Blue, Black and Platinum. If you select a random colour, your tray may be in one of the three colours, but could very well be something a little crazier (orange? green? who knows?)

Note: if you’re also purchasing a Macintosh Portable Adapter For BlueSCSI v2 Desktop along with your BlueSCSI v2 Desktop, you will not need one of these trays. The Portable Adapter has its own tray to hold the BlueSCSI v2 Desktop.
