# How it works
BlueGS connects between your SCSI card and its external DB-25 connector to give you a seamless installation. The BlueGS module itself mounts in a free DB-25 connector cutout in the rear of your IIgs or Enhanced //e.

# Can I use it on things besides the IIgs and //e?
Yes! It's is a standard BlueSCSI device and uses the standard BlueSCSI V1 firmware.
Yes! It's is a standard BlueSCSI device and uses the standard BlueSCSI V1 firmware. In fact, the built-in DB-25 connector makes it the perfect external SCSI drive as well!
BlueGS can be mounted internally in any computer that has an open cutout for a DB-25 connector.
## ✅ Compatible Apple clones
These computers *do* have rear DB-25 cutouts and so BlueGS should be able to mount properly, but are untested.

## 🚫 Apple II/II+ and similar clones
BlueGS will function in an Apple II or II+, but you will not be able to mount it because it uses "V" shaped cutouts instead of D-Subminiature connector cutouts like the //e and IIgs have.
Many Apple II clones use the same rear cutout design and have the same mounting limitation. **A mounting solution for these machine is planned**.
