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

My weekend project was trying out #PicoIDE on my Amiga 1200. It mostly works, just needs a few tweaks. Thanks to the Amiga community who knows this machine way better than I do!

I have created a self-booting (System 7.5.5) image with most or all (?) of the 68K compatible games from Humongous Entertainment, complete with a Launcher. This should be a drop-in for any BlueSCSI

Both of these computers have been sitting around since I got them as part of a bundle and I usually use my LC 575. Installed MacBatt and BlueSCSI (using my 575 drives images lol) and they both work perfectly!
Now the real question is what should I do with the both of them. Besides a cleaning.

New blog post! When you want to replace an aging SCSI disk, you go buy a #BlueSCSI. What happens if you want a cheaper BlueSCSI? You can order the parts and build one. What if you want one that costs more AND is more work? Now we're talking. #retrocomputing
