ZuluSCSI Compact Homebrew is our most affordable SCSI emulation solution, provided in a compact, easy-to-assemble kit form. All through hole components necessary to assemble a working unit are provided. Limited through-hole soldering is required to assemble this kit.

This ZuluSCSI Compact Homebrew is pre-flashed with firmware, and hand-tested. All surface-mount components are factory-assembled, and the SCSI interface on the board has been tested to ensure full functionality. The Molex-manufactured microSD socket is high-quality push-push type.

ZuluSCSI Compact RP2040 is powered by the Raspberry Pi Foundation's dual-core RP2040 microcontroller. ZuluSCSI RP2040 supports SCSI-2, synchronous and asynchronous transfers, with read speeds up to ten megabytes per second. A SCSI controller supporting FAST SCSI and synchronous mode is required to achieve maximum speeds.
ZuluSCSI can emulate up to seven SCSI devices of varying device types (HDD, CD-ROM, Zip, Tape) at the same time. ZuluSCSI is easy to use. Hard drive and CD-ROM drive images are stored on a standard FAT32 or exFAT-formatted solid-state SD card. The ZuluSCSI firmware looks for file names which adhere to a simple but powerful naming convention. It presents each file as block devices/drives to the SCSI host. Each image file represents a SCSI drive.
