Installed a BlueSCSI drive to bring my NeXTstation back to life for the first time in 18 years. Next step (pun intended): install the Y2K patch so I can set the date.

i'm a massive fan of infinitemac.org
i have multiple real macintoshes, each with their own bluescsi and sd card with hdd image file on it, and it's WAY easier to use this to mount and load/unload stuff from them than the various emulators i had installed myself.

I have a #bluescsi from @museumjoe.bsky.social installed, it’s so nice to be able to load CD images and have WiFi with one hard drive replacement.

0x2500 is LOGICAL_UNIT_NOT_SUPPORTED - the vendor OMTI command might be before the lun hack (i dont have the code handy atm) It is requesting sense data though so thats good, but It may be looking for specific keys in sense... which might be hard to find out what if undocumented.

That is what I wonder, vinegar syndrome could end up happening to all of them. I had a 145 that did develop it. But since this is working (for now), just today I maxed it out to 14MB of ram, a BlueSCSI with WiFi, and plan to rebuild the battery. I don't recommend this project to a beginner for sure.

Centronics, DB25, 50 pin, Laptop, Odd MacPortable 34 pin, or whatever odd SCSI connector you want to throw on there :)

The logs wont change - only thing that changes it it will respond to that lun request. (as mentioned it's a bit of a hax, but should respond on LUN's)

We are mac first (but not mac only!) and there's no mac it doesnt work with. Be sure you get a V2 - we sell kits for a reasonable price as well if you dont want to source the parts yourself (and just want one) - enjoy and let us know if you have any questions.

We do have a little hack to work around LUN for (some) machines - MapIDToLun=1 this means that FD2...hda would be mapped with this setting to ID 0 LUN 2 - bluescsi.com/docs/bluescs... - like I said it's a bit of a hack and limits you to 1 ID and 7 luns but could work for you.

Under $50 even new :) Or we're opensource so if you were so inclined you can build them yourself as well! We have a huge community so come join in on the retro fun :)
