Apple's OpenFirmware implementation makes some interesting assumptions about ATA device types and which bus channel they expect to see them on. This appears to be is a hard-coded machine-side limitation, not an issue with ZuluIDE firmware. This is a known bug we're working on addressing.

These are 100% legitimate, and in no way "scammy" or clones. SamplerZone has been a value-added reseller of ZuluSCSI and SCSI2SD products for 8+ years. They are one of several people who purchase unassembled ZuluSCSI Pico Slims from us in bulk, assemble them, and re-sell them with their own...

The least expensive ZuluSCSI, ZuluSCSI Compact RP2040, supports initiator mode and is $45, available from us directly in the US, and we have plenty in stock. No, it's not "in stock more often for US buyers" but you can keep believing whatever you want to believe.

@shu82 and @chrisrueckert, FYI, initiator mode was originally implemented for ZuluSCSI, which is where BlueSCSI got said initiator mode support from. See the second line of https://github.com/BlueSCSI/BlueSCSI-v2/blob/main/src/BlueSCSI_initiator.cpp#L2C3-L2C65, where it clearly states: This...

It's really important to remember that OpenTransport can't even manage line rate Ethernet @ 100Mbit/sec. OS X can, but not Classic Mac OS.

There isn't one yet. The changes are minimal. The firmware is exactly the same. There are some improvements to the efficiency of the power supply circuitry, but the most noticeable change is that the new ZuluSCSI Blaster Rev2026 board has a laid-down DAC and a footprint for the optional RM2...

As a follow-on to our original ZuluSCSI Wide, which we launched a little over seven months ago, in August of 2025, we're pleased to announce our next Open Source Hardware emulator, ZuluSCSI Ultra Wide OSHW, under the CERN Open Hardware License (Strongly reciprocal variant) v2. The ZuluSCSI...

Have you tried using https://jcs.org/bluescsi/wifi_da-1.4.sit ? It should "just work", but I haven't personally tried it in a while. More details and a screenshot are at https://jcs.org/bluescsi

Performance-wise, there should not be any difference at all. ZuluSCSI Wide OSHW design uses Chinese-brand microSD card sockets and buttons, as well as a different bus transceiver and SCSI termination circuitry.

Approximately six months ago, we introduced ZuluSCSI Wide, our highest-performance 16-bit Ultra Wide SCSI emulator. Today, I'm pleased to announce the release of ZuluSCSI Ultra Wide OSHW, a true 16-bit Ultra Wide SCSI emulator, as a lower-cost alternative to our commercial ZuluSCSI Wide...

Check out our latest USB-C equipped Laptop-sized 2.5" ZuluSCSI Blaster, which is available with and without the add-on RM2 Wi-Fi radio module. DIP switches for initiator mode, SCSI termination, and debug/verbose logging are present. As with all ZuluSCSI products, the debug logging can be...

@aplmak SCSI tape drives are not supported in initiator mode at this time. While there's certainly no purely-technical reason why you couldn't implement this in the firmware, it's just not as easy as it may appear on the surface, since the SCSI command set for tape/streaming devices is an...

It's now been a couple of weeks since we launched ZuluSCSI Wide, our latest and highest-performance ZuluSCSI model to date, and I'm excited to share what we've been working on for the last several months. ZuluSCSI Wide, our first 16-bit Ultra Wide SCSI emulator, enables read speeds of up to 33...

For anyone who comes across this thread in the future, this ended up being an assembly issue, which was fixed by sending a replacement RM2 module to @KI5NYZ
