My weekend project was trying out #PicoIDE on my Amiga 1200. It mostly works, just needs a few tweaks. Thanks to the Amiga community who knows this machine way better than I do!

I have created a self-booting (System 7.5.5) image with most or all (?) of the 68K compatible games from Humongous Entertainment, complete with a Launcher. This should be a drop-in for any BlueSCSI

Well, as you can see, it booted my image file from the BlueSCSI. I've never been happier to see a Windows splash screen 😂

Both of these computers have been sitting around since I got them as part of a bundle and I usually use my LC 575. Installed MacBatt and BlueSCSI (using my 575 drives images lol) and they both work perfectly!
Now the real question is what should I do with the both of them. Besides a cleaning.

New blog post! When you want to replace an aging SCSI disk, you go buy a #BlueSCSI. What happens if you want a cheaper BlueSCSI? You can order the parts and build one. What if you want one that costs more AND is more work? Now we're talking. #retrocomputing

In the way BlueSCSI rescues old computers with failed hard drives, I wish there were a universal thing that could save old laptops by replacing their screens with modern ones that are more power efficient with better backlighting.
Like RGBtoHDMI but with LVDS and whatever laptops used before that.

Thanks to everyone who joined me for yesterday's livestream. I completed construction of a BlueSCSI and it worked first go! The BlueSCSI is now living inside a PowerMac 6100/66AV on one of my custom designed 3D printed drive brackets. #stirri

Hey so much like last year at #VCFWest I’ll be kinda doing a thing with @bluescsi.com. If you come by my table and play your cards right (or the sea slugs like you) you may leave with a promo code for a free BlueSCSI! I’ll also have a number of free shipping codes available too.
