BlueSCSI Tools

Tools we built for working on vintage machines. They all run in your browser, they are all free, and none of them send your files anywhere.

Browser tools

What the .SIT!?

Opens classic Mac archives and disk images in your browser. Drop in a .sit, .cpt, .hqx or .dmg, look inside, and pull out the files or write a disk you can mount.

Open the converter

Print Spool Viewer

BlueSCSI can pretend to be a LaserWriter IISC and save what your Mac prints. Drop the spool files here to see the pages and save them as PNGs.

Open the viewer
