BlueSCSI-V2 and the X68030 Compact

[costa]

Hi there.

I got two BlueSCSI-V2 (with the Pico) for testing:
- V2 Desktop Kit
- V2 DB25 Mini Board

Connecting any device to the Compact are quite challenging, due to their alien connectors. Fortunately I had the cables to connect the Desktop version to the external SCSI connector in the X68030 Compact. It´s not pretty, the cables lying around and takign space, definitely not a nice solution.
Now for the DB25 version, I thought of building a small adapter to use it internally, since the X68030 has a pin header exposing the SCSI signals.

I designed, fabricated and now tested successfully the adapter with the BlueSCSI DB25 version,worked but not without some weird glitches.

The internal SCSI ID in the computer is set to zero.
I stored two HD images to the SD card:
- HD00_512.HDA
- HD10_512.HDA

I came to this SD CARD setup after many trials and errors, because using only HD00_512.HDA would not boot, using HD10_512.HDA would not boot.
Storing both images in the SD card works, the computer will boot every time.

What could be the reason for the computer be able to boot only when two Hd images are stored in the SDCARD, does anyone have a clue why this is happening ?

Attaching some pictures of the setup - all images has my adapter already connector  to the BlueSCSI.

It's a nice solution, because there is no cables, no additional poser supply required, and the whole thing fits inside the case. Works very well, reason why I recommend this solution using the DB25 mini board version.
