An earlier post talked about using the BlueSCSI as a USB-SCSI keyboard interface with special drivers installed
I think an easier/simpler solution would be to have the Blue Pill or Pi Pico do double duty as SCSI interface AND USB-ADB converter.
You wouldn't even need any special drivers
I haven't looked at the specs of either module, but isn't there enough GPIO, bandwidth and processing power to do the SCSI-SD conversion AND USB-ADB conversion?
Maybe with enough GPIO, even triple duty as a USB to Mac Plus keyboard/mouse converter?
There are projects that already do the USB-ADB conversion:

https://shop.bigmessowires.com/products/usb-wombat/
So maybe we can just piggyback their functionality into like a "Mortal Wombat" feature for the BlueSCSI?
Just an idea I'm putting out there.
