You've put in a lot of effort here. I have been actively looking for a quality solution for SCSI-to-Ethernet with a more modern design/approach. I feel like this could be it. From all my research, much of the other existing solutions out there are not entirely reliable, may have limited/buggy software, and are highway-robbery to obtain one! More power to you and I will be monitoring to see when one can be purchased when ready. | Posted by: pixitha on 2024-11-29 07:56:15 Any updates on this? | Posted by: ronan on 2024-12-03 13:25:03 Hi !
Sorry life got me very busy, and I lack enough motivation to go to the end of the project. The hardware part works perfectly, I was able to send packets and communicate through SCSI to my Mac.
Unfortunately the retro enginering part of the original hardware I was trying to replicate takes too much energy as I was told timing need to be really precise. One solution would be to emulate other hardwares as it was suggested to me. I might spend some time to try time, but I cannot guarantee I will do it.
I think that using my hardware as a starting point is a good idea, but software needs to be rewritten. | | < 5 |
