What is it?

BlueSCSI v2 is an open-source, open-hardware SCSI storage emulator designed to replace legacy SCSI hard drives (and even CD/floppy drives) in vintage computers.
You insert disk image files on an SD card, and BlueSCSI presents them as real SCSI volumes to your old system—no changes needed in your vintage hardware.
It supports multiple disk types simultaneously and runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico/Pico-W/Pico 2-W.

Why did you make it?

The project was born from a community-driven desire to preserve and upgrade vintage systems without relying on aging mechanical drives.
By leveraging modern, affordable Raspberry Pi Pico hardware, BlueSCSI v2 provides a reliable, flexible, and maintainable replacement that supports future enhancements—ensuring your classic computer can keep running.
