BlueSCSI v2 Inside! - Bin that old A590 SCSI Hard Drive - Part 3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
- Get rid of that old spinning SCSI hard disk drive. In this video we're going to look at solid state alternatives for SCSI drives that we could install in our newly working A590. I'll focus on the Blue SCSI V2, and once installed we'll re-install the operation system, OS3.2 and all of it's updates.
There may be one more followup video, but I'm not going to tell you what that one will be about....!

Cool video. Great help. Thanks!
Awesome video! Thanks for going over how to use the BlueSCSI v2 and glad it just works!
Another great informative video! Today my seagate 50pin hdd died, think I'll get the bluescsi v2 too! I hope to see another part of this series! Forever Amiga :)
There will be another - might skip a week or two but keep an eye out!
Thanks Rob, informative as always
Thank you
Nice. I just happen to have a new bluescsi and empty A590. No power supply though.
Well you can do the ‘power from the Amiga’ mod, but also there are compatible ones available on ebay
+100 Dave points for installing the OS on the real machine
Felt like the right thing to do 😃
thax from 🇮🇷❤
we can still see up your nose, Rob! lol
I guess that’s what happens when you sit so close to the camera
Is there a modern hard disk controller that could be used with the BlueSCSI?
These days A590 and such are hard to come by. It would be great to have a modern HD on which to plug in the BlueSCSI... Or maybe there is a all in one solution out there somewhere...
I don’t think there’s any need. There’s too many IDE, SD or compact flash alternatives - if I had t got the A590 I’d probably have bought one that plugs between the 68000 cpu and the socket.
Hi, I'm looking for scsi to sd for GVP A530. I see that this adapter has a different power socket
There’s many adapter cables on Amazon, that’s where the one in the video I used came from
Welp, I'm using a 4GB SD card, exFat formatted, 512 byte allocation unit size. My hard drive file name is "HD10_512 - AmigaHardDisk.hda". That fie is a clone of the old 88MB Quantum hard drive that used to be in the computer. Unfortunately, when trying to use this new setup I just get a system request prompt that reads: "Not a DOS disk in device DH1" --and it won't boot. Bummer.
Several reasons why it could happen - might not be the right kickstart version, might be missing (for example pfs3) driver. Try installing diskflashback and see if it can open the file
@@RobSmithDev Whew. Good advice. It's a little bit deeper in the pool I usually swim, but I'll try to figure it out. I don't know what "diskflasback" is or how to use it, but I'll search for additional info. BTW, the drive file on the SD card/BlueSCSI is literally a direct clone of the physical hard drive that I just stopped using. I mean, I could put the physical hard drive back in the Amiga 2500 and it'll boot up fine. That would seem to inform me the kickstart ROM in my 2500 machine is an appropriate one, right? (I'm not a regular vintage Amiga user, just getting back into trying to save my old computer, so I'm ignorant about a lot of these things). Thanks for your videos and help!
5:20 Why so loud music?
lol yeah it was a little. I fixed that on future videos
Annnd - Not a DOS disk... I unable to manage to work BlueSCSI on any of my Amigas (A590, GVP HC+8, A3000) :(
I have it working on my HC+8 fine. The size of the SD card you are using could be a factor. You may also need newer ROMs
@@RobSmithDev I burned the latest ROMs. Also tried DOZEN of different cards. Could you share your file-parition?
It’s too big to share. Does the hd tools even detect the blue scsi?
@@RobSmithDev Nope. However, I manage to make it work on my A2000 with GVP HC+8 SCSI controller. A590 still does not even see the "drive".
Weird. I can literally swap the SD card between my A590 and my GVP and it works in both. I think something might be wrong with your A590 setup. Have you checked the bluescsi site for some clues? What does the led on the bluescsi do on power up?
