I set up the new BlueSCSI Ultra Wide in my first workstation and see if it can compare to my original setup. youtu.be/Jrphu6DYSeU

I've switched over Infinite Mac's classic Mac emulation to recently-released and awesome Snow, which unblocks A/UX emulation: infinitemac.org?filter=aux There's a behind-the-scenes blog post at blog.persistent.info/2026/09/infi... detailing this and other site updates.

Let's try to repair the bad serial port on this IBM PS/2 Model 50z. You're not going to want to miss the gut-wrenching pain from the hard drive noise in this thing! Maybe we can get a BlueSCSI working in it if the drive is fully toast. Today (Sep 21) at 1PM EDT. #IBMPS2 youtube.com/live/oHBryq4...

Come see the BlueSCSI booth and a lot of other cool stuff in Kate & Veronica's video/podcast!

Mad props to @museumjoe.bsky.social for the awesome BlueSCSI drive that has brought the club's traveling Macintosh Classic 2 back to life! 🥳

Table secured! @jeffgeerling.com's NTP showcase inspired me, I think I'll do vintage Wi-Fi (BlueSCSI + PC cards) clients, connecting to an AirPort, going across 56k to get out to the internet. With my vintage gear in storage on another continent, I'm piecing together something with what I have. 👍

Doors are open come by and say hi #vcfmw

I was successful imaging the drive but it required A LOT of meticulous work to get it working well enough to copy with my trusty #bluescsi

I'm doing a YouTube Premiere in 35 minutes, stop by and say hi in the chat! 👋🍿 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRrb...

Today we're going to (try) and repair some things before VCF Midwest. Also, I'm starting a month-long fundraiser to help a wonderful animal rescue organization, you can donate directly via the YouTube Giving function on the stream. Going live in about 30 min! 🐶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_6G...

Normal people don't like navigating github - so in our effort to ensure everyone can find what they need easily we've created a Downloads page for the latest firmware and BlueSCSI Toolbox - check it out bluescsi.com/downloads

Dynaport driver installed, now I have WiFi on my quadra 630

A little Mac SE/30 surgery leading up to #VCFMW 21! <2 weeks remaining until VCF Midwest 😬

Huge PiSCSI release - biggest is moving away from the install compiling/downloading anything - web/control rewritten in go + a ton of other features/fixes github.com/PiSCSI/piscs... #piscsi #vintagemac #scsi

Got the PicoIDE and BlueSCSI installed into the SGI VW 320 to demo at VCF Midwest in a couple weeks! I love the auto opening door on this thing.

Great news! Pico Micro Mac now supports audio! If you have an existing v3 unit, you can upgrade with this linkie right here: jcm-1.com/product/pi... If you don't have a Pico Micro Mac yet: no worries. Just watch this space because v4 is coming out soon that includes audio right on board.

VCF Midwest is a bit over 2 weeks away so I’m getting PicoIDE demo rigs set up for my table. One will be an SGI Visual Workstation 320 with both a BlueSCSI Ultra Wide and a PicoIDE in way-too-cool black front panel enclosures. These are 3d printed because I’ve only gotten molded samples in beige

I added a little modern technology to the old Macintosh 128K this weekend, for convenience, so the younger folks at Euclyd can actually bear to try and use this little thing ;-).

I made some cool icons! 🎨 I'm proud to say the BlueSCSI Toolbox apps for the Mac (v1.1.1) now include my new icons. You can read about my process for creating these new icons via my blog post here: mac84.net/web/2026/08/... Also, visit bluescsi.com/toolbox to grab the latest apps! #bluescsi

I want to reiterate how much I love #bluescsi #initiator mode for imaging old rusty HDs as soon as you get them cos they’re probably going to die when you boot them the 2nd or 3rd time but now you never have to know cos you have an image of the drive that's been in someone's closet for 35 years.

USB - Universal SCSI Bus.

BlueSCSI is more than a drive emulator. It's an ecosystem. More supported systems than other solutions, great docs, online diag & config tools, vintage OS integration, WiFi, front panel & CD audio support: plus much more than fits in one doot. That's a lot of bang for less than 50 bucks. #bluescsi

Introducing the UltraLong™ SCSI Terminator. For when you really, really, really want to introduce SCSI voodoo…

On Saturday's noon EDT stream, we're going to see if we can get any acceleration out of a Macintosh Display Card 8•24 GC that is missing cache chips (and has other issues). I'll also be showing off a new trick that BlueSCSI can do- functioning as a video card! youtube.com/live/r5RdXcx...

Turns out I just needed to install 7.1.2 and everything works fine. Sigh. So I’ll cancel this stream. But I will have a fun BlueSCSI trick to show off during Saturday’s normal stream!
