@RV066 Your ZuluSCSI board is entering raw fallback mode. When it does this, the SCSI ID is hard-coded to ID1. If you observe the activity LED on your ZuluSCSI, you'll see it blink three times, which indicates it did not find any valid images on the SD card. In order for the ZuluSCSI firmware to...

You don't need to use the whole thing, just two lines in a plain-text .ini file with the following: [SCSI] ReinsertCDOnInquiry = 1

Posting this here for posterity, as I had a bit of difficulty finding this non-standard (thanks to the 28VDC needed for ADC) pinout.

@Ortho'sDeli Without knowing how you have it configured, it's impossible to help. How is it configured, currently? What model of ZuluSCSI is it? How isn't it being detected? Be as specific as possible.

@mloret try setting ReinsertCDOnInquiry = 1 in your zuluscsi.ini file.

Thanks, for the feedback, @Qed, however this claim is not entirely accurate. We've updated the documentation to more clearly state when quirks mode is necessary. Quirks mode only needs to be enabled if you need to initialize a blank disk/disk image using Apple's un-patched disk utilities (HD SC...

@mloret, this firmware is quite old. There have been eight firmware releases since version 1.1.1. Before you do anything else, do yourself a favor and get current, because it's entirely possible you're running up against bugs that are already fixed. For ZuluSCSI V1.1, you just need to download...

@joshc I certainly hope so, but if anyone else here would like to distribute kits in the UK, please contact via PM or e-mail.

@Garrett, You might want to check out the new ZuluSCSI Compact Homebrew kit, which may be of interest to you. We just released it yesterday! I've posted an announcement thread about it here...

@1200XL M.U.L.E. Apologies for the late reply. Without knowing which Macintosh machine and CPU you're using, there isn't enough information here to be able to answer definitively, but if it's a 68000-based compact Mac (which the screenshot seems to suggest it may be) then yes, those numbers are...

Following on from our full-sized ZuluSCSI RP2040, which we released back in November of last year (2022), we've got another entrant to the ZuluSCSI family, available for purchase today in kit form, starting at a mere $42, from...

Fixed! Thanks for pointing out the copypasta fail.

We've recently launched our 2.5" ZuluSCSI RP2040 Laptop edition, and we've placed the remaining inventory of 2.5" ZuluSCSI V1.1 Laptop/PowerBook boards on sale, at a price of $55 each. There are only about 45 left as of this writing.

Prototypes Arrived. 1x M.2 SATA and 1x 2.5" SATA Hard Card attachment point.

And the prototypes have arrived. One was assembled last night.

We're aware of the above situation. The TSOP pinout is a standardized JEDEC pinout, fortunately.

It's clear that the cost of printed circuit board manufacturing in relatively low volumes isn't a factor you're giving any consideration to.

With all due respect, this is not relevant to the conversation in any way, shape, or form. We're discussing a two port SATA card, which is more than sufficient for most use cases. You're free to design your own card around this part, if you have the ability or resources to do so. Start a thread...

Noted. In a future iteration, we'll almost surely add support for PLCC EEPROM, but the TSOP one can be programmed in-situ with flashrom, and quite possibly other vendor-supplied utilities, so you can program it without needing to remove the IC at all. I've already concluded we don't need to...
