Don’t give up on that 6360! The BlueSCSI issues are expected, V1 doesn’t sit well with several models. Getting a better setup in place for that sort of thing will help you in the long run.
It sounds like you don’t have a good System to boot your 6360. According to MacTracker:You’re kidding! Well listen to what I tried…I have an older internal bluescsi running my SE/30. I decided to throw a Hail Mary and I pulled it out of my SE/30 and pulled out my Overeasy to give that a shot. Initially the computer actually booted up with the bluescsi connected. I saw the drives and everything. But even I tried to open one of the bluescsi drive images I got a bomb and system froze. Tried again and I was back to the system getting hung up immediately after boot. Switched SD cards out (same brand though) and it booted again, but this time the drive images didn’t mount. Launched scsi probe and it saw the drive image but when I tried to mount, bombed again. So I think the issue is with the bluescsi not the board. Right?

No problem have tried countless images and os versions. I don’t have think that is the cause. I have even tried the Performa 6360 cdIt sounds like you don’t have a good System to boot your 6360. According to MacTracker:

You should be able to download the original System 7.5.3 from Macintosh Garden
Looks like it’s download #27 on this page - same as disk as the 6400 Link
Yeah. But make sure the adapter board can't short on the computer. You can probably use small cable ties to attach it to the drive sled, avoiding the rails' mating parts. You'll need to do what suits you.I read the ide2sd instructions, seem pretty easy. Once I have the sd card set up, Is it just a matter of disconnecting the ribbon cable from the HDD, plugging into the ise2sd card and power on?
Unfortunately when I have talked to him on Discord, he has referred me to the troubleshooting gitbhub page and asked me if I read it.You could also try reaching out to Eric Helgeson from the BlueSCSI team about your issue- he'd probably be happy to help you out.
You might also add a thread in trading post “WTB: Zuluscsi”Strange. I will try to contact him and see if I can get help with mine. I do not have high expectations, as I tried to build the adapters myself instead of purchasing the kit - which was not available at the time, and seeing that a V. 2 came out, I now know why. Therefore, I am very disillusioned about the BlueSCSI.
problem with Zuluscsi is the high cost for shipping - unless, someone in EU is willing to share the costs with a group buy? I could do the initial purchased. In case, where would I post this idea? Dont want to hijack this thread more than I already did.
To Italy, that's $76.74, then you add postage (likely about $15 to $25), then add tax, likely ~20% of the price + shipping.Why not order from amigakit?

The 6360 has a molex for the hard disk? What is the issue?Hey I was just looking at the layout of the IDE2SD board I bought and I see the space for a molex connector for power as well as the connector for the IDE cable. Hmm, what's the best way to set this up in a PPC case?
