If you find your data transfer is very slow, like less than 5k/s then check you've turned the debug log off within BlueSCSI!
This is a SANA-II network for the Amiga for use with BlueSCSI V2 with a Pi Pico W board.
The BlueSCSI requires a special version of it's firmware to patch around issues with the
Amiga SCSI and GVPSCSI device drivers.
BlueSCSI Firmware Update - INCLUDED IN THIS ZIP
Power off the Amiga, and, hold down the white button on the blue scsi Pi Pico.
Whilst hoding down the button, connect the Pico to your desktop computer
A new drive should appear. Copy the 'firmware.uf2' to the drive, it will then disappear.
Disconnect the cable.
BlueSCSI Configuration
Create a blank file on the BlueSCSI SD card called NE4.hda. If you are already using device
number 4, then change this to a number you aren't using.
Installation
- Copy the scsidayna.device to devs:networks
- Setup this device for your network stack.
For example, follow the instructions in https://github.com/cnvogelg/plipbox/blob/master/doc/src/amiga.md
Configuration
For this driver to work it needs to be configured.
Included in this archive is a file called 'scsidayna.prefs' - an example config file for the device.
This needs to be copied to ENVARC: on the Amiga and rebooted.
If you change this file, they will not be picked up until restart or you copy it to ENV:
The format of that file is:
scsidayna.prefs
device= change to the SCSI driver for your card
deviceid= The SCSI device ID the DaynaPORT device is on, or -1 for auto-detect
priority= The task priority. 0 is recommended, 1 will give hgiher speed but slower machine
mode= **VERY** important:
0: Original DaynaPORT Interface
1: Use with scsi.devie (A590/A2091)
2: Use with gvpscsi.device
autoconnect=0 If set to 1, the driver will attempt to connect to WIFI on startup
ssid= The WIFI network name to connect to
key= The WIFI password
