Optical Beta

This is a beta release of optical support for BlueSCSI based on #130 by @mynameistroy

You can now create SCSI optical drives with .iso, .bin, .toast, and other raw optical formats.

BlueSCSI will try to determine the correct block size for optical, but you may need to specify it in certain situations.

Reporting Success, Issues, and Questions in beta

If you have Success, Issues, and Questions please use the discussion.

If you have technical feedback please report that in the Pull Request.

Usage:

Follows the same naming conventions as Hard Disks, except using CD

CD30_2048-MacOS8.6.iso - SCSI ID 3, LUN 0, 2048 sector size.

Remember file names must be less than 32 characters.

Bootable Images

Some images created do not have the proper bits to be detected as bootable on a Mac. We are compiling of known good images here https://github.com/erichelgeson/BlueSCSI/wiki/CD-Image-Support

Known behaviors

Eject currently does nothing, we have some interesting plans around CD switching in the works.

If an image file has the read only attribute checked it is currently skipped (some CD images have this checked) - will be fixed in next beta.

Flashing

USB Boot loader

If you have the USB Boot loader you can flash any of the -USB firmware to your devices using this branch of the BlueSCSI-Updater or QMK Toolbox (generic DFU util for windows/mac)

ST-Link

If you do not have a USB bootloader you can flash via ST-Link v2.
