Tag: db 25

Retired family of SD-backed SCSI drive emulators that includes internal 50-pin and direct-attach DB-25 hardware.

Upstream describes SCSI2SD V5 and V6 as permanently retired. SamplerZone nevertheless exposed an Add to Cart path for a cased v5.5 at $129.95 on 2026-07-27, including configured microSD media and optional HD50 or Centronics-50 adapters. Treat v5.1 as a used-market mechanism upgrade and confirm reseller fulfillment for v5.5. The documentation hub lists v4.8.4 from 2019 as the latest firmware for both versions. V5.5 has fixed termination and must be last on its chain; hosts without DB-25 termination power need USB power.

Open-firmware SCSI emulators in DB-25, internal 50-pin, laptop, and Wide SCSI form factors.

Rabbit Hole Computing offered current Compact RP2040, Blaster, and Wide variants on 2026-07-24. A 2026-07-27 follow-up found its mostly assembled $25 Pico Slim V1.3 PCB kit sold out, while SamplerZone exposed an Add to Cart path for a $79.95 assembled and cased Pico Slim with configured microSD media. Rabbit Hole's direct Pico2 Slim and Laptop Blaster pages were also sold out. TinySCSI was archived in January 2025, but its V1.0 and V2.0 KiCad files remain available for personal builds. A project discussion documents Wi-Fi DaynaPORT operation on a Pico Slim under System 7.5.5 with the DaynaPORT SCSI-port driver, but does not establish a minimum System version or equivalent networking support for every family variant. Connector, termination, power, speed, and initiator support vary by hardware.
