Hello,
Are these kits purchased from a seller? Or is this DIY with bare board and soldering each component? What is the target test system?
I ordered PCB boards without components in JLCPCB and soldered all the parts myself. The parts were bought new in an offline store. I don't quite understand about the "target test system", could you tell me what it is? I would like to somehow test the passage of signals through the buffer chips on the BlueSCSI board. Maybe there is some kind of test firmware for Raspberry Pico that sets the state of all outputs to a high or low state. I have an oscilloscope and a logic analyzer.
"target test system" means what you're trying to use BlueSCSI with. Something like a specific Macintosh, SCSI card, or other hardware.
There's not a "test firmware" currently, but that probably wouldn't be too hard to implement.
Could use an approach like PiSCSI does with a loopback tester https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi/wiki/Troubleshooting#user-content-Loopback_Testing

I am using BlueSCSI with an Adaptec AHA-1520/22 controller on my old PC on an Intel Pentium 166 MHz processor. I also tried with another controller - Adaptec AVA-2902E, two problematic Blue SCSI don't work with it either. I tried changing SD cards, it didn't help. At the same time, the other two assembled BlueSCSI work perfectly with these controllers and SD cards.

Thank you for the quick response. I could make a loopback tester, but I'm not an expert in programming and I can't transfer the "scsiloop" program code to Raspberry Pico. Can I please ask you to redo the code for BlueSCSI V2 on Raspberry Pico? It's not difficult for me to solder or assemble something with my hands, but I'm not good at programming. It will also help other people in the future who will build and configure this device.
Hi, I have assembled 4 pieces of BlueSCSI V2 devices and only two of them work without problems. On the other two devices, there is a problem when trying to initialize the hard drive. When trying to initialize BlueSCSI on the Pico, the LED lights up for a few seconds, after which it goes out and a message appears on the screen that SCSI disks have not been found. I have an assumption that the problem is in one of the chips on the board and some signal does not pass through to Pico Is there any program for testing chips on the board, or maybe there is a way to determine which chip is the problem from the logs?
