If the user chooses to restart the Mac while the application is running, the app comes to the foreground but does not quit, even if no transfer is taking place. This is on an SE/30 running 7.5.5.

I'd like to try hacking some more features in to this. Thanks.

Also progress is reported incorrectly due to unsigned long int division error in ThinkC6.

It would appear from the limited usage I've had, that by default the application will download files from the SD card to the same directory that the applications is launched from. For new users this may be confusing as they may not know where the files are downloaded to. Perhaps have a button to specify the path so the user can choose where files are downloaded to?

Once a transfer is complete, maybe the 100% should turn into something like "Done!" and the progress bar should disappear. I sometimes get the vague impression that it's stalled at 100%. I know there's a beep but some users can't hear.

Hi,

I'm sure I miss something here, but I can't find the mentioned HD1-Beta.hda with the Toolbox software anywhere.
Neither in this repo, nor in https://github.com/BlueSCSI/BlueSCSI-v2 and https://github.com/erichelgeson/BlueSCSI

Hi,

I have a quite large 'shared' folder. When I open the SD Card reader on my Macintosh (Quadra 660AV, system 7.5.3, Open Transport 1.3) I see 13 filenames correctly (and exactly 13). The rest of the filenames are just little squares.

The files themselves seem unsorted - at least I have not found out yet which filenames are shown and which are not - so I do not know yet how it 'chooses' these filenames.

I have deleted some files to see if it was filename-related (e.g. no spaces), but that didn't give me any clue. The number of 13 files seems consistent.

I am eager to know if this 'feature' can be reproduced by others ;-)

A black vertical line sometimes appears a dozen pixels from the left when the application gets back to the foreground (SE/30 7.5.5).

Might it be possible to include the ability to drag a file in and out of the file list to speed up transfers? Might it also be possible to be able to upload multiple files at once? Currently I've found I can only do this with one file at a time - but I could be wrong. I haven't used it extensively.

I've been having some trouble getting the BlueSCSI SD Transfer app to work correctly. Small files that I attempt to transfer from my BlueSCSI to my Mac IIfx claim to be transferred successfully, but end up experiencing data corruption.

As an example - I created a plain text file on a modern Mac called hello.txt with the contents Hello, World!. I then placed this file in the shared directory on my BlueSCSI. When I launch the BlueSCSI SD Transfer app on my IIfx, I can see the hello.txt file in the /shared/ directory display on the app, and I can click on the file and click the Download button, which indicates that the transfer was successful.

However, when I open the file, the contents have changed to:

In Main!
SCSI

(One interesting thing to note here - both copies of the file contain exactly 13 characters / bytes)

The debuglog.txt doesn't seem to indicate a problem:

In Main!
SCSISelect - id: 7 err: 2
SCSISelect - id: 6 err: 2
Found a BlueSCSI on ID: 1
Found 1 files on the SD Card...
hello.txt 13 **
Transfering files from cell: 0 size: 01
file_size: 13
bytes_remaining: 13
blocks: 0
ticks: 7 sec: 0
kbps: 0
Transfer Complete.
done.

(Also interesting... the first 13 characters of debuglog.txt are the same as those of hello.txt)

I then tried with three other files, in addition to hello.txt:

• goodbye.txt, a plain text file which reads `Goodbye, World!" (15 bytes)
• a PICT image (21 kb)
• a Stuffit archive (44 kb)

The PICT and Stuffit files transfers completed successfully and I was able to open those on the IIfx without any problems. However, the goodbye.txt file was replaced by 15 characters of gibberish (random letters, accented characters, and symbols)

Lastly, I tried creating a text file with 50 paragraphs of filler text generated from https://lipsum.com/ , which came out to 31 kb, just in case the issue was related to file size instead of file format. And amazingly, it worked! So the problem isn't specific to text files, but rather, to small files. I've attached a screen capture showing what the files look like on the IIfx when compared to my MacBook. Note that lipsum.txt looks correct (save for line endings, which is expected), but goodbye.txt is corrupted and hello.txt contains the start of the debug log.

Things I've tried to fix it, without success:

• Running it on my primary System 7.1.1 installation and a clean System 7.5.0 installation, and from a Mac-Rominator II ROM disk
• Disabling extensions on System 7.1.1
• Using a different hard disk driver (The 7.1.1 disk image has a SCSI Director Pro 4.0 driver, and then 7.5.0 disk image has an Apple driver from Disk Jockey)
• Disconnecting everything from the SCSI bus except for the BlueSCSI
• Removing all images from the SD card except for my 7.1.1 image (8 GB with four partitions)

Would love to hear your thoughts - should I try reformatting the SD card next, or do you think it's a different root cause?

On repo (and releases there is only a readme and the .png. Where can i download the .hda?

When navigating through a long list of files it might help if the window was resizable so to see more of the content of the shared folder.

I've successfully flashed my BlueSCSC, but when I boot from my 6.0.8 image, open beta1, and run the Transfer app, I get the error that no compatible BlueSCSI device is found. I have a shared folder set up. I am trying this on my Mac Plus. Do you no what the issue could be?
