Ultra SCSI Fast20 OverClock - BlueSCSI/BlueSCSI-v2 GitHub Wiki

BlueSCSI can support the Ultra SCSI Fast20 SCSI timings with an overclock.

[!WARNING] While overclocking a Pi Pico is generally safe - you do so at your own risk.

Prerequisites

You will need an SCSI card that supports Ultra SCSI (Fast20) with a 50 pin connector or an HD68 to 50 pin adapter.
