Just provide an SD card.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kit Version<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s fairly easy to do if you have some soldering practice.<\/p>\n<p>You may also exclude the Raspberry Pi Pico completely, in which case you&#8217;ll have to supply your own, as well as headers for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pico Type<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can choose the traditional Raspberry Pi Pico or the Raspberry Pi Pico 2W (wireless).<\/p>\n<p>The Pico 2W provides improved performance in later computers (such as those with a SCSI-2 bus). In older machines however, performance will not be improved because the SCSI bus of the computer itself acts as a bottleneck and cannot process data quickly enough.<\/p>\n<p>You will need a Pico 2W to take advantage of the DaynaPORT Wifi feature: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinkerdifferent.com\/threads\/bluescsi-v2-daynaport-wifi-beta.2857\/\">https:\/\/tinkerdifferent.com\/threads\/bluescsi-v2-daynaport-wifi-beta.2857\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Note<\/em>: the Desktop version of BlueSCSI is typically used internally, inside a casing that shields its contents from the outside world, including radio signals.
