It's an impressive list of accomplishments, congrats to y'all for getting that much work done! I know I'm not speaking for just myself: your contributions are really appreciated. I was wondering if the SQLite backend was considered ready for general use? I'm still on Berkeley but was figuring...

The Debian script it looks like it merges all .isos into a single readable image, complete with combined package lists and the like.

Should run in 6.0.4(ish) and up but it's untested on anything other than 7.5.5 Well it shouldn't but this is hot code so I'm not comfortable saying it definitely will not. It seems unlikely unless the OS maps IDE devices onto SCSI IDs or something like that. Would be prudent to have anything...

Here's the prototype. This can either read SCSI devices into images (File:Read Disk) or write images to SCSI devices (File:Write Disk). Pick a SCSI ID and then a file to write/read. This is very much an alpha and it may eat all your data, please use with great caution. There are many, many...

Makes sense. I've been spoiled by modern Linux distros being able to `dd` an image and having it "just work" most of the time. What I've got so far is just a scuzEMU derivative. The low-level SCSI commands in/out of files was already halfway to what was needed. It's inheriting the THINK C...

I drafted a small demo program yesterday in response to your first post to do what you're describing: single function, just write a file as a disk image to an arbitrary SCSI ID. Based on testing disk images worked fine. However, the limited number of small CD images I tried did not work, but I'm...

Even the desktop systems require fussing to keep running: basically every system Apple made in the period being discussed will need capacitor work of some kind. The LC boxes in particular are notorious for issues with their power supplies and audio circuits. If you're not wanting to deal with...

Version 0.6 is available here. Main changes: Support for the new multi-block transfers introduced into the toolbox API starting with BlueSCSI v2026.02.08-RC1. .dsk release, to simplify loading into MAME. Bugfixes, mainly to file naming/path issues. The new transfers are much faster, assuming...

Yeah there isn't a way to update the INI from a utility. This would be a very nice feature, there are many systems beyond laptops that would benefit from better device control (he says, glaring at a Quadra 800) Edit: to add, this is not a ZuluSCSI specific thing: the API used doesn't support...

I'll gladly accept praise regardless of timing! :LOL: Seriously though, happy to hear scuzEMU has been useful for people. I'm planning a new release soon(ish) to implement the updated toolbox features BlueSCSI v2026.02.08 added, and to fix a small set of accumulated bugs. If anyone has had...

These will be very useful if you need specialty geometry, image-based optical emulation, audio output, a screen, image swapping, or other "fancy" features. IMHO, if all you need is basic bulk storage CF cards work just fine. $70 isn't unreasonable at all for a bespoke retro project but it is a...

That looks amazing, what a chonky beast. If you can get the response from an INQUIRY command it should indicate whether it is write-only or not, there is a device type flag in there (assuming it is standards-compliant). SCSI Probe should show that information. There is another classic Mac tool...

I'd assume the SCSI commands are going to be quirky with write-once media, especially during formatting. It may require one of those special backup packages referenced in the other thread.

Neat find! If it's a WORM drive some of the information here might point to useful software. If you want to take some pictures you might be the first person to document it online, I couldn't find hardly anything apart from references to Laserdisk (later "Literal") making the equipment.

Well done work and very nicely documented. Wonder what they were trying to accomplish with... whatever all that was. Just trying to narrow down the GAL failure? Or somehow trying to make it work with some other system?
