== Current state ==
In the scope of AS/400's, ZuluSCSI's disk support is still in its infancy, while CD- and tape emulation are seemingly solid. Some progress has been made, but there are still some rough edges, normally leading to crash of the Operating System with a given ''System Reference Code''.
 
At the moment, the firmware supports only a single DASD device type.

ZuluSCSI by Rabbit Hole Computing is a comparatively new family of SCSI device emulators featuring an SD card based backing store. Distinct features to older, similar devices is support for Wide-SCSI, Ultra-Speed, and a fast CPU.

ZuluSCSI also features an OpenSource firmware, so it can be extended comparatively easily.
