ZuluSCSI Blaster - Ultra SCSI emulator up to 18MB/sec

ZuluSCSI Blaster - Rev 2026c - Available now 

The ZuluSCSI Blaster is a high-performance SCSI storage emulator powered by the RP2350B microcontroller. This revision bridges the gap between vintage hardware and modern storage, now featuring integrated CD-quality audio and high speed throughput.

Features :

• High Speed: Up to 18MB/s read and 11MB/s write (at narrow Ultra SCSI 20MB/sec timing). Also compatible with SCSI-1 and SCSI-2.

• Multi-Device: Emulate up to 7 SCSI devices simultaneously (including CD-ROM, Magneto Optical, removable (SyQuest/Jaz-style), and SCSI floppy device types).

• Easy Setup: Highly configurable via ZuluSCSI.ini text file.

• Simple Updates: Drag-and-drop firmware updates via SD card. The firmware is GPLv3 licensed open source. Get the latest release here.

• Network Capable: Supports DaynaPORT Ethernet emulation (via optional RM2 module).

• Initiator Mode: Access SCSI drive contents over USB.

• Integrated CD Audio: Built-in 16-bit stereo CD Audio DAC (PCM5100A) for authentic playback. (MPC connector optionally mounted)

• Wi-Fi Ready: On-board footprint for optional RM2 Wi-Fi module.

• Modern Connectivity: USB-C for power, serial console, and data transfer.

Physical & Compatibility:

• Form Factor: 90mm x 100mm.

• Drop-in Replacement: Fits all existing SCSI2SD V5.1, V5.2, and V6 brackets.

• Mounting: Standard 2.5" HDD mounting holes (M3). Allows to use most commodity 2.5" to 3.5" mounting adapters. 3d print your own bracket in 3.5" or 5.25" form factor. Also optionally available from my shop, as high quality 3d prints - photos coming soon.

• Termination: Easy DIP-switch control.

• Power: Powered via SCSI termination power or USB-C.

Technical Requirements:

To achieve maximum 18MB/s throughput, a high-speed SD card and a SCSI controller with Ultra SCSI support are required. Supports FAT and ExFAT (files larger than 4GB).
