In-built active terminator.
Can optional supply terminator power back to the SCSI bus
Emulates a non-removable hard drive for maximum compatibility.
- Firmware updatable over USB (TODO software not yet implemented)
- Highly configurable over USB (TODO software not yet implemented)
+ Supports sector sizes from 64 bytes to 2048 bytes

Selectable SCSI ID
Selectable parity support
Enable/disable Unit Attention Condition
Artificial limits on the SCSI disk size (eg. limit size to 4G to avoid OS bugs)
+ Sector size (can also be set via the SCSI MODE SELECT command, as sent by SCSI format utilities).
Technical Specifications
As currently implemented:
-Sequential read: 424kb/sec Sequential write: 414kb/sec
+Sequential read: 930kb/sec Sequential write: 900kb/sec
Tested with a 16GB class 10 SD card, via the commands:
# READ TEST
sudo dd bs=8192 count=100 if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/null
-I am working on updating the SD card communication to use DMA, to allow simultaneous use of the SD and SCSI interfaces. I expect the performance to reach 1Mb/sec.
