March 23, 2025: SCSI2Pi 5.1 is available
The new release of SCSI2Pi among other things extends the functionality of the SCSI-to-USB bridge. With HDDRIVER and SCSI2Pi you can use USB drives without special USB hardware or USB drivers. This feature has been tested with a TT and a USB stick, a USB DVD drive and a USB floppy disk drive. HDDRIVER can boot from a USB drive, and with HDDRUTIL you can format floppy disks. USB drives can be mapped to drive A: or B:, e.g. in order to replace a broken floppy disk drive. Or you use USB sticks with MagiCMac (or MacOS), which was tested with a Performa630.
With a single external hardware an Atari (or another computer) has access to emulated hard drives, removable media drives, MO drives, CD-ROM/DVD drives, tape drives (streamers), printers, network adapters, USB drives and a realtime clock. Image files are simply copied to the Pi via the network and can be managed with the SCSI Control app, a web interface or on the command line (also remotely).
On the Atari SCSI2Pi is especially well supported with the SCSI2Pi client tools.
