My personal (hot-rodded) Falcon (video)

Post by Steve »

Hey guys,

I had my Falcon open today so recorded a little bit about the things I've done to it over the years, for those who might be interested.

The graphics capabilities sound amazing! I've been feeling pleased with my monochrome dithered images. :lol:

Very good vid Steve.

RasSCSI ! 8-) Presumably an external DIY Pi to SCSI port interface could achieve those same networking ends, al a RasSCSI network dongle? Anyway that's really pipped my interest so would be really interested to know how you're getting on with it.

Hey Willie, check out the following: https://github.com/akuker/RASCSI/wiki

There are people making/selling units so once you get your Falcon back you'll be able to buy one and play around with it. You can connect it to the external SCSI bus on your machine (I sadly cannot get more of the internal SCSI boards)

Thanks for the link Steve. I'll be checking that out with the Pi later this evening!

You must have the most pimped out Falcon I have EVER seen Steve! :D

That RasSCSI looks interesting...I was looking out for a cheap SCSI2SD v5.5 'pocket' edition (in casing), so I could use it on my TT/F030/Quadra 660AV, but the prices seem to have rocketed up recently, so not such a great deal.

I wonder what sort of prices these RasSCSI devices will cost built?
