No problem! I get excited about ordering boards and click "Order" pretty quickly. I was able to get JLCPCB to drop the 245's before they built the boards, so it all works out! I love what you're doing with Scuznet, btw! I'm hoping to pull that functionality in RaSCSI at some point...

Thank you for the awesome feedback, saybur!! I felt like I was cutting corners by going with the 245. Your feedback solidified my concerns that this was a bad idea.  Its going to bump up the cost of these boards a little, but I'm going to switch back to the 641's. Who am I to argue with the...

That would be awesome!!! I put in an order for 10 tonight. I would have done more, but I'm too worried I messed something up. :-( Once they arrive, and I'm sure that they work, I'll go back and figure out who gets first dibs :-)  IF they work, they should be ~$20 for partially assembled...

Definitely. I’m hoping to order a dozen of them with all of the surface mount parts pre-installed. I can do surface mount, but I know my limits! Those are TINY!

Oh, and here's an early picture of board v2.1, with all of its tiny surface mount resistor goodness...

So..... I did a bunch of stuff today.... Last week I ordered a bunch of 74LS245 tranceivers ($0.65 each) to see if they would be a workable alternative to the 74LS641 ($3 each) in the original RaSCSI design. Today I got around to trying them out. So far, they're working great. There are some...

The changes you made look awesome. Thanks!

When I tried to run it, I get a "landoGriffin_is_awesome.iso file not found" error ;-)  I like this layout a lot better!! Thank you for the feedback! I would definitely appreciate any assistance with the documentation you (or anyone else) can offer! I changed the settings on the wiki to allow...

I got frustrated trying to emulate the Apple CD-ROM firmware (so that RaSCSI works with stock Apple CD-ROM drivers). So, I switched to playing with the web interface to control the RaSCSI. I'm trying to develop everything so that it is compatible with Netscape 4, so you can control it directly...

Sounds like a good idea to me! Building upon that idea, I designed a small stacking board that could go on top of the base RaSCSI board to add another DB-25 port. This way, you could just have the RaSCSI in your normal SCSI chain (if you need to) (Forgive my crude attempt at 3D graphics...

For the setup I have right now, I just have a REALLY long pin header above a normal Pi4 case.  Very true - you can always do that.  So, maybe I'm over-thinking this. I'm using a Pi4 for development (it compiles soooo much faster). But realistically, you don't need anything above a Pi Zero...

scsi2sd is an awesome product. I'm glad it has taken off as much as it has. I think it serves a different audience. Ditto to what others said. Its not economics. For me, its just a fun project. I'm not hoping/expecting to make any money or have this be a big project. I would guess that most of...

Something I’m trying to think through for the next version.... how to cool the raspberry pi 4. The Pi 4 is awesome, but the cooling needs are a bummer. I’m thinking of mounting a fan to the RaSCSI board. (Similar to the Pi POE hat)   Any electrical engineers out there with tips on things to...

Cool! This is motivational for me to keep moving bw:)

Awesome! Thanks! I mentioned to synchromesh in a PM that I'm probably going to do another board order mid-August. Feel free to PM me (or comment on here) if you want some. I can build them up for you (for a price ;) ), provide them as a kit or just a bare PCB. (I do still have a couple bare...

I just went through my 840av and recapped it. There were soooo many traces that had been eaten away. It looks like a pile of spaghetti on one part of the board! Glad to hear yours is working! I love my 840av!

That's exciting! There is a problem with the design that will require you to do a cut/jump on the board. (Note: The fix is easier to do BEFORE all of the components are soldered on :-) ) https://github.com/akuker/RASCSI/issues/10 That's odd the OSH Park didn't like them. The ones I had made...

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!

You're 3D design skills far surpass mine!!! That looks very professional! Do you guys thing there is a need for SCSI pass-through?

Ya, I'll change the 50-pin header to through-hole. The surface mount version isn't too bad to solder. It just takes a little time and patience. I do have a couple more boards that I could build up with the current design too.
