Floppy Emu HD20 vs BlueSCSI (v2)
Posted by: djc6 on 2024-11-09 18:51:47
Is BlueSCSI (v2) noticeably faster than using Floppy Emu HD20 support on my SE/30? Any other pros/cons to using HD20?

I will be ordering a replacement ROM anyways to support larger amounts of memory, so I'll pickup HD20 support. I already have a Floppy Emu from my IIGS.

I'm also curious about the BlueSCSI due to DynaPort ethernet support, so I might pick one up anyways.

HD20 is 500Kbps (62.5 KB/s), SCSI-1 in the SE/30 can theoretically max out at 40Mbps (40,000Kbps) or (5 MB/s).

So, SCSI-1 is about 8x faster than HD20.
