Need help with BlueSCSI

[Digitalman]

Trying to figure out why my BlueSCSI is not working. (Not sure the version but it's an STM controller)

Pentium 133 MoBo running Windows 98.

Tried two different SCSI cards: Adaptec AHA-1510A(ISA) and AHA-2930 (PCI)

The images are mounting ok according to the LOG file. The 2930 BIOS hangs while scanning the LUNs and eventually produces a timeout message. If I change the LUN ID (say from 0 to 1) then adapter will hang when it reaches that LUN number. Tried different images sizes, and tried exFAT and FAT32 SD cards. Termination on/off.. same results. Updated the firmware, same results.

Anyone know if this is supposed to work? Any ideas? Thanks!

It's been awhile since I last touched a BlueSCSI board, but I remember them being very temperamental about the disk images used and the names of the volumes on the SD card.

IIRC, there was a tool used to generate volume images to put on the SD card, but I could never get that to work. I had to use the pre-generated empty volume images listed in the instructions/tutorial at the time. The file names on the SD card also had to be perfect and contain no typos, else I would run into the issue you describe where the SCSI controller couldn't find any volumes, or would freeze trying to detect them.

Turns out I had my resistor arrays in backwards... doh! Working now that I reversed them all.
