After being extremely cryptic about the new hardware project I'm working on in my last "photo of my monitor" post, here's a hopefully less cryptic one. Now that more things are working, here's a clue that is hopefully a little more obvious about what it is:

Your friendly neighbourhood Disk Jockey has been updated to easily create images for the great new Snow emulator (with multiple partitions if that's your jam).

User came on Discord today complaining how hard it was to configure RAW mode on BlueSCSI - they were right! So I automated it all.

Seems samplers users like the RAW partitioned SD workflow instead of images.

This also allows you to pop in a SCSI2SD card into your BlueSCSI for a easy upgrade.

.@yyzkevin.ca has been working on making #BlueSCSI the first #SCSI emulator to work with the odd IBM AS/400 drive standard. Here's his AS/400 booting IPL'ing with a BlueSCSI!

Still a lot to do but now even AS/400 users can have a modern, fully opensource, storage solution.

Last night I experimented with CDROM emulation on PicoGUS using iso or bin/cue on a USB stick, using code from yyzkevin. I first thought RP2040’s USB would be too slow but after seeing the Pico ODE for 3DO that emulates the same MKE interface, I have newfound confidence that it will be fast enough.

I recreated Joey's Gibson virus from the movie Hackers and it runs on a vintage Powerbook Duo. When you launch the "virus" it makes a new post to the Bluesky bot @hacktheplanet.simone.computer

Before you ask no this is not actually a virus 😜
