@ActionRetro granted even the cheapest #SCSI2SD and #CF2IDE adaptors and cards will feel snappier than the fastest supported #HDD|s supported by said systems, simply due to the fact that they're #Flash and don't suffer from seeking and can handle random, small #IOPS very well - which are the norm on #Desktops...

@bnys how do they not kill their hard drive from vibrations and headcrashes and shit?

Or did they cheat with a #SCSI2SD?

LOL WTF so I ordered a #ZuluSCSI thinking it would be more convenient than #SCSI2SD because I can keep configuration on the SD card rather than reflashing the ROM each time I use a different geometry SD card.

But it fails to read it (or write a debug log to it for that matter).

It keeps blinking 3 times, telling me it cannot find any images on the card.

*confused as f00k*

Mission accomplished. ๐Ÿฅณ

Eventually this SCSI2SD case took 7ยฝ hours to print, not too bad.

Unsure if I'll slap a lid on top, it's shoved in a 1U space in my 19" rack anyways so the insides should be safe from cats and whatnot.

The two old-school SCSI ports are exposed to allow me to connect multiple hardware samplers to it. (Yeah I really dig 90s audio hardware.)

#3dprinting #scsi2sd

A 3d printed case with a SCSI2SD adapter inside. A ribbon cable connected to the internal 50 pins that exposes 2 old -school SCSI ports on the outside, allowing to daisy-chain things.

Man, somebody please push me to use this damn I bought a couple years ago. I have a Mac IIci I want to install Apple Linux on and a Bebox that's stuck with a 100 MB old-skool SCSI drive that is so small it can't even create a swap file so it runs dog slow. The intent is there it's just the whole follow-through part rt now ๐Ÿ˜‚

Should I be exploring the hard drive on a #Macintosh SE that belonged to another person 25 years ago or should I just wipe it and start fresh? There's a lot of useful programs installed that I don't have the floppy disks for, so I'm tempted to just delete personal files and what-not. Also, is the upgrade to 4MB of #RAM worth it? What about #SCSI2SD? It's a pity it's not warm enough this time of year for #retrobright. Maybe come summer.

Did anyone have problems updating #SCSI2SD to the latest version (in my case 6.4.14 on 2020c) ? No way to do this in Windows, even with Zadig or STM32CubeProg drivers. But it worked like a charm on my Mac (High Sierra). @flexion ๐Ÿ‘
