ZuluSCSI Wide manual (https://github.com/ZuluSCSI/ZuluSCSI-firmware/wiki/ZuluSCSI-Wide-Manual)



Included is my zuluscsi.ini file I had to use custom CHS settings so Openstep would format the emulated drives successfully.

You MUST have your image files on the SD card be unfragmented. I used Mac to copy and every time macOS fragmented the files.  :o  With a fragmented image it is glacially slow. I formatted the sd card mbr/exfat from linux and copied the files onto the sd card and then used filefrag to check if the copied files were fragmented.

The disktab entry I use.

Also the planet will thank me, Zuluscsi Wide and SD card uses a lot less wattage than 5x 36 gb 10Krpm SCSI drives.

  What is your VESA resolution 1600x1200 or 1920x1080?

Currently it's 1600x1200 using the gpu built into the cpu. I put a 4xpcie to nvme in place of the gpu for linux. With that Nvidia card and the monitor I'm using it would only do up to 1080x1024.

Sorry, I don't understand. With the setup mentioned in the initial post, do you get a resolution of 1600 x 1200? Or with which setup do you get this (or any higher) resolution?

Thanks for the clarification!

All the best,
