The system I use (OSX) to mange the SCSI2SD cards configuration and firmware doesn't have a SCSI.  I'd think of it more as a "nice to have" than a requirement.  The V6 cards allow data exchange via USB2. If you have the appropriate images, you can just DD the data directly to the microSD

I've used the SCSI2SD with great success with vintage DEC computers. On QBUS machines, both vax and pdp-11, it has worked with Emulex UC07, TD systems Viking, Andromeda SCDC and the DEC RQZX1 controllers. I have used it on native SCSI controllers in VAX 3100, VLC 4000 and 64 bit ALPHA machines.

Is it perfect? No. Is it worth a try? Absolutely! I have both V5 and V6 and they work very well "most of the time". Some machines just don't like them (usually in the form of frequent bus resets). Some machines work better with the V5 and others better with the V6, and sometimes settings need to
