FWIW, in my limited experience I like the BlueSCSI. Physically the
SCSIknife looks nice, but counting the pins on between the two boards
makes me think it is narrow only. That is fine for a lot of machines,
but BlueSCSI can be gotten in a versions that support Ultra and Ultra-Wide.
All three projects (ZuluSCSI, BlueSCSI, and SCSIknife) do seem to share
forks and patches from each other, and all three seem to have ended up
moving the the RP2040 or RP2350 chips, so I suspect that significant
differences between them tend to end up being temporary, unless there
are quality differences in the routing like one other commenter suggested.
