Hard Disk image files are placed in the root directory of a exFAT (preferred, allows larger drive images) or FAT32 formatted SD card . Use a premade or blank disk below. You can have up to 7 image files on one BlueSCSI.
[!NOTE]
BlueSCSI images are also compatible with the PiSCSI and other Emulators.
You can find a list of premade, blanks, and more under the Bluescsi Images page.
The naming convention is as follows (file name max 64 characters). Note you may use multiple images at a time with different SCSI ID’s.
HDxy_512.hda, CDxy_2048.iso
Image Type (required):
* HD - Hard Disk
* CD - Optical
* FD - Floppy
* MO - Magneto Optical
* RE - Removable
* TP - Sequential Tape
* ZP - Zip100 Drive
x - Image SCSI ID - optional, if not provided defaults to 1. 0-7. Supports up to 7 devices at a time.
y - LUN(Logical Unit Number) - (Optional, defaults to 0, currently only supports 0)
512 - Sector size. Optional - only set if you need to change. Defaults to 512 if unsure. 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, & 8192 supported.
Multiple images can be cycled automatically when a removable drive is ejected (CDROM, Floppy, Tape, Zip, etc)
Create a folder on the SD card named CDX where X is the SCSI ID you wish to use and CD is the type (eg: CD3, ZP2) . Then copy in any number of images files into the folder. The images are cycled in alphabetical order.
Other examples:
* Tapes on ID 1: TP1
* Floppy Disks on ID 2: FD2
* etc…
[!NOTE]
If your CD is not re-inserted you may need to enable ReinsertCDOnInquiry.
You can also use the CD Changer application from the BlueSCSI Toolbox to switch CD images.
HD10_512.hda - Hard Disk at SCSI ID 1, LUN 0, sector size of 512.
HD6 - System 7 Quada 700.hda - HD at SCSI ID 6, LUN 0, and 512 sector size.
HD50_512 System 6.0.8L LC.hda - Hard Disk at SCSI ID 5, LUN 0, sector size of 512. Text between block size and .hda is ignored.
CD3 Myst.iso - CD at SCSI ID 3.
If you’d like a video walk through of these steps here are a few:
HD99_712 foo bar fizz buzz buzz buzz foo bar fizz buzz bang.hda Over 64 chars and invalid SCSI/LUN/Block size
If no image files are found, the green LED on the Pico module will pulse on and off. Check the log.txt on the root of the SD card for any errors.
