Squishy is a platform for working with old SCSI devices with modern systems in a flexible manner. It was originally developed as a one-off solution for the taperipper project, which was to boot a modern system off of a IBM 9348-002 9-track magnetic tape drive.
It has since evolved into being a generic toolkit and hardware platform for all things SCSI.
Squishy is comprised of 4 core components; A gateware library built on Torii; A python library with various utilities and structures for dealing with SCSI data; A applet system to allow for custom gateware/python code applets to run on the hardware; And finally, the hardware itself.
