This is a pre-release!

  1. Please backup your images before testing, just in case.
  2. Please report issues, compatibility improvements or changes on the Github discussion
    Before reporting an issue please include the BlueSCSI hardware rev, computer tested on, image used, and re-test after doing a full overwrite format with "SD Card Formatter"
  3. ETA on stable release is TBD.

Changes

  • Apple HD SC Setup support #71
    • You can now format in most Mac utilities without error.
  • Image set selection #73
    • Add a physical switch/jumpers externally to your BlueSCSI so you can switch computers without moving files on the SD card. Select between 4 image sets (folders of images) on the SD card. There is also an optional shared image set.
    • See Github issue for usage instructions. Will be on wiki once released.
  • CLZ optimization #63, Optimize handling of reset interrupt. #64, Code reordering for bus settle delays #78, Upgrade to latest toolchain #67, #70
    • These changes give a performance improvement of 10%+ and better stability. My 6100 does 1.2mb/sec read, 1.2mb/sec write.
  • Be more lenient on SD cards that are not able to communicate at 50mhz SPI #69
    • Some SD Cards would fail to communicate with the BlueSCSI at 50mhz but work fine at 49mhz. No real change in performance till you reach 40mhz, which a warning will be logged.
  • Fixes to get VAXstation 3100 working #59

Compatible with Hardware versions 1.0-a, b, c and 1.1-a.
