BlueSCSI

BlueSCSI & ArdSCSino are hardware that reproduces SCSI devices (hard disks) with an Arduino STM32F103C (aka Blue Pill.)

BlueSCSI created by erichelgeson is a fork of ArdSCSino-stm32 which adds:

• Usability Improvements

• Mac specific functionality

• Enable/Disable Passive SCSI termination

• An alternative power source if not able to be powered by the SCSI bus

• Documentation

• Open Hardware (KiCad & Grebers)

ArdSCSino-stm32 created by ztto is the STM32 version of ArdSCSino

ArdSCSino created by Tambo (TNB Seisakusho)
