Advanced Settings

Currently BlueSCSI uses a few files at the root of the SD card for settings that are outside the norm.

You should normally not have to use these unless you have a system that requires some special handling as noted below.

SCSI Vendor config scsi-config.txt

By default the BlueSCSI is detected as a QUANTUM BLUESCSI F1 1.0 - which is great for Vintage Mac computers.

If you wish to override this you can place a text file on the root of the SD Card named scsi-config.txt with three lines each ending with a new line:

• The first line is the vendor and must be exactly 8 characters. (add spaces if not)
• The second line is the product and must be exactly 16 characters. (add spaces if not)
• The third line is the version and must be exactly 4 characters. (add spaces if not)

Example (· == blank space):

SEAGATE··
ST410800N·······
1.0·

Mega STE Mode MSTE_MODE

If you have an Atari Mega STE, place a file in the root of your SD card named MSTE_MODE. This will map SCSI IDs to LUNs as required for this devices (and possibly others)

The MegaSTE internal SCSI/ACSI adapter only supports devices on SCSI ID0 which limits the usefulness of BlueSCSI in this situation. The MSTE_MODE enables the SCSI ID's to be remapped as LUNs for SCSI ID0 so you can use multiple devices with the internal adapter. This is well supported and tested against the HDDRIVER written by Uwe Seimet. Other ACSI/SCSI drivers were not tested at this time but it expected any driver supporting multiple LUNs will also support this new feature.

This mode was added in release v1.1-20221203
