[Video] BlueSCSIv2 on the Falcon

[Badwolf]

Happy new year to all!

I like to post here when I've a relevant video up, so despite me actually releasing this last week, here's a link for me having a play with the BlueSCSI2 on the Falcon.

I know I'm perhaps a bit of a latecomer to this but it's a lovely product if you have a particular need for it. I was very keen to test out the WiFi networking, but speeds were slow.

I also had odd issues with EmuTOS, which I need to look into if I get a chance. Perhaps other BlueSCSI users could let me know if they have similar problems around freezing Daynaport transfers or hanging/crashes with MiNT+EmuTOS?

Cheers,

BW

FYI I measured 120k/s with bluescsi wifi daynaport on my Falcon & TT. I don't get any hangs or crashes. I *did* have issues once, but it was related to my routers wifi settings rather than the device itself.

Thanks, Steve. Is that kilobits or kilobytes?

The former would be broadly in line with what I measured. I've not looked at the code: perhaps it's emulating a 115k serial line?

kilobytes I think, ill double check.

Sorry I was imagining things, it's on average about 30kb/s. This speed is perfectly adequate for me, since I don't use network to transfer large files to the machines. If I want to do large files, I either put them directly onto the Bluescsi drive image using Hatari, or I use USB drives with Netusbee. The networking is just a nice convenience for little things like automatically updating the system clock with NTP, browsing FTP and perhaps little visits to frogfind.com sometimes.

Good video, thanks BW.
I think as Steve points out having a slow wifi connection is often all you need.
I'm about to test my replaced BlueSCSI device also in the Falcon after testing it in my Mega, so this is good timing!
