My RS/6000 hobby project. It's a 43P Model 140 with 576 MB and a @bluescsi.com SD to SCSI interface to replace the slow and loud hard drive.
Excited to learn about the bluescsi.com/ultra announcement.

The new #BlueSCSI Wide SCA EVT board arrived today (and this time the PCB was the right color!)
Already working with the standard Ultra Wide firmware, and now I get to implement SCA SCSI ID detection.

Picked this up last July. 1992 Macintosh Classic II. It had screen issues caused by a broken anode cap clip and the SCSI drive was unusable as it had AtEase downloaded on it. After a full recap of the analog board and a BlueSCSI it's now a fully functional unit running MacOS 7.5.3.

Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? @yyzkevin.com's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/

Tuesday at 2:30PM EST we're going to finish up the FM Towns II UG20 saga so I can get it back to its owner. There's still one floppy drive to service and I'll show how I modified a 72pin SIMM and got a BlueSCSI to work with the machine.

Alright! Booted BasilsikII (on 7.5.3), made a 20mb DSK file. Turned it to an HDA file and tossed that on my BlueSCSI so I could copy Microsoft Works to my SE! This is so cool

My opinion, for what's worth, is that folks should feel free to add in modern digital electronics if it helps. Be it a BlueSCSI on a classic Mac, a display, or a sensor. There really aren't rules, just some people's opinions.
I like keeping classic IBM PCs alive with boards that use modern hardware

I got a Macintosh Quadra 950 video editing computer at VCFMW, but I haven't opened it up. Since @mac84.bsky.social 's latest stream, I'm worried that the battery leaked. Let's pop it open Wednesday at 3:30 eastern and back up the harddrive with BlueSCSI initiator mode. youtube.com/live/oA7H7Tt...

This weekend I implemented command passthrough to #PicoIDE over SMART Command Transport (which is done via creative use of the SMART log get/set commands). This way you can get status of the PicoIDE, load disc/disk images, etc., and being implemented with SMART means it works in user mode in Windows
