I just received my BlueSCSI that already has a Centronics 50 on it with the hopes I wouldn't need the 25-50 pin adapter cable. I followed this guide "https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=fm_towns:sdscsi" for setting it up. The problem I am having is I think my FM towns isn't even seeing the device correctly.
I tried booting with Towns OS v2 LS51 and going into what I believe is one of the tools that should be able to see the drive with no luck. I included an image below with what I am seeing. I labeled the small version of the hard drive image has HD3.hda. I also tried a small, blank, 100mb black mac image from Bluescsi site to see if I can at least format it with no luck. The Blue LED on the device is on when plugged into the external connector. It seems like the disks I am accessing on the SD card keep corrupting because when I plug it back into the usb adapter on my PC the files have errors and I can't copy or delete them without running a scandisk.
What can I be doing wrong? I just ordered an internal BlueSCSI so I can test the internal port drive.

I figured out the problem right after ordering the internal BLUESCSI and making this post. Story of my life because this always happens minutes after I spend more money after a day of troubleshooting. I didn't realize the pico2 on the BlueSCSI didn't come preprogrammed from Joe's Computer Museum. Once I learned the device should drop a log file on the SD card just from having power applied I figured this out fast. Also now I know there are multiple LEDs when it reads... I removed the shell and programmed via USB just incase my SD cards had a problem.
