BlueSCSIs with a Pico 2 or Ultra BlueSCSI do not have these limitations.<\/p>\n<h3>Tray<\/h3>\n<p>The 3.5&#8243; tray is available in three different colours (blue, black and <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.onegeekarmy.eu\/index.php\/faq\/#what-is-the-platinum-color\">Platinum<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3>Background and Additional Information<\/h3>\n<p>The BlueSCSI Front Panel Module is the result of a partnership with Ian Scott (<a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@polpo@chaos.social\">Polpo<\/a>) and it shares its design and general tray layout with his PicoIDE. Most of the information regarding the PicoIDE Front Panel is also applicable to the BlueSCSI Front Panel.<\/p>\n<p>You may find the BlueSCSI Front Panel Module documentation here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/BlueSCSI\/BlueSCSI-v2\/wiki\/Front-Panel\">https:\/\/github.com\/BlueSCSI\/BlueSCSI-v2\/wiki\/Front-Panel<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And the documentation for the PicoIDE Front Panel may be interesting too:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/picoide.com\/docs\/front-panel\/\">https:\/\/picoide.com\/docs\/front-panel\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Beta Firmware<\/h3>\n<p>The BlueSCSI Front Panel Module currently requires a beta version of the BlueSCSI firmware (we&#8217;re expecting a full release in the coming days). You will need to update your BlueSCSI to this beta version or to any official release that will follow. The beta firmware can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/BlueSCSI\/BlueSCSI-v2\/releases\/tag\/panel\">https:\/\/github.com\/BlueSCSI\/BlueSCSI-v2\/releases\/tag\/panel<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Shipping<\/h3>\n<p>We ship from Belgium to all continental European countries, and all countries of the European Union.
