@vaelen Cool! Did not expect A/UX to run under qemu. It’s finicky enough on real hardware. Nice to be able to play with this in an emulated environment! I will try moving over the #BlueSCSI image from my Q700 and see if I can make it boot in qemu. What could possibly go wrong 🫣

@ann3nova xeah, definitely upgrade to an #SSD via #BlueSCSI!

@wyatt Also glancing from the #PC98 architecture and specific quirks that #Linux accounts for in menuconfig it's most likely not gonna be enough to "just boot the #i486 version of @OS1337"...

• Tho given the fact this is just a #toybox + #musl / Linux Distro that is barely booting using #syslinux and able to spit out a 80x25 MDA console, it is in an early infancy.

As for the specifics of the #PC9821+ and their detailed hardware I'm clueless beyond the Wikipedia Article and can only Assume anything before a (RAM-upgraded) #9821Ap & #9801BA is off the table and a #9821Af or better is desireable as the 14,6MB RAM limit will really become a problem quickly, as I'm pretty shure it's impossible to get linux-6.6.6 run on anything below 8MB at all and most recommendations hint that 16MB is more often than not a practical limit (tho that may be becaise 10/12/14 and other "asymetric" configurations were already avoided back then)...

• The #9821Ce should be workable in theory tho again that's just me reading a specsheet.

On the flipside I did manage to install #WindowsXP on machines with 32MB RAM and actually get them to display a desktop (abeit with seconds per frame instead of frames per second) so this is more likely a question of chipping down things.

• Worst-Case one could see to build a bootable CD-ROM or dd something on a #BlueSCSI or similar...

Question!

Is there something like #BlueSCSI but for #fibrechannel emulation?

I have a SUN machine without drives that I need some storage for, attaching some pictures for good vibes

:sun: :solaris:

Wow! It's always cool to see projects people come up with on their vintage computers, glad #BlueSCSI could be a part of it! #hacktheplanet

To access the @BlueSCSI microSD inside my PowerBook 170 I had to disassemble it and pull the card from below the metal shielding.
After I cut my finger doing it, I decided I needed a better solution:
A 48cm microSD “extension cable” turned out perfect to move the microSD slot to the battery door (attached with hot glue).
It works! And I highly recommend it if you don’t have a battery.

Dont sleep on SCSI on vintage PC's - @stinkerton18.bsky.social has put in a ton of work documenting and making images for PC. A SCSI card + a #BlueSCSI can be a great, flexable, and feature filled PC solution! (BlueSCSI Toolbox apps work on PC too!)

Meanwhile, today I am going to combat stress by assembling that #BlueSCSI that will be paired with the interface card.

This has nothing to do with me procrastinating other tasks, surely.

#BlueSCSI Represent!

I’m at the Southeast Michigan Vintage Computer Club’s April event!

Make sure to stop by the “Vintage Video Capture” table at #vcfeast to guess how many caps are in the Erlenmeyer flask to win a #bluescsi v2!

See ComputerSmith live stream building a DB25 #BlueSCSI v2 right now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rcq3lEpVUMg

Did you know #BlueSCSI powered Street Fighter 3 Third Strike on the #CPS3 systems at the Evo Championships tournament in Las Vegas last year? Was awesome to see BlueSCSI at such a *huge* event! Some pics from Brian of paradisearcadeshop.com of the setup and custom BlueSCSI silk screen.

The next #SEMVCC event is just over two weeks away. If you're interested in building a #BlueSCSI with Joe's Computer Museum, be sure to sign up for it on the website semichiganvcc.blogspot.com Looking forward to seeing you all!

Now I just need my external #BlueSCSI to arrive, too.

#BlueSCSI acquired! #MARCHintosh

It’s that #BlueSCSI time of #MARCHintosh again! Thanks @onegeekarmy for providing us with these fine kits ☺️

Got my BlueSCSI from @onegeekarmy today! Really happy with it. I can’t use it right now (the Mac is disassembled waiting for a cleaning session), but will soon. 😊 #macplus #retrocomputing #bluescsi #macintosh

When copying things to file servers on the same LAN over AppleTalk, is EtherTalk via BlueSCSI or LocalTalk via PhoneNET faster?

I know LocalTalk can get up to 230.4 kbit/s, but what is the throughput of the BlueSCSI when using wifi? Is one any faster than the other?
