Working with my new RaSCSI, and ran into some issues with the Daynaport setup. Open transport doesn't recognize my CPU upgrade, and MacTCP is only working outbound, so I set that aside (I'll get back to it), because honestly, all I really needed was the ability to access an FTP server, HTTP server, or any unencrypted file share that doesn't involve copying whole disk images to an emulator, or mounting disk images on the RaSCSI, etc.
While this is basically a functional POC at 9600bps, I originally shot for 14400, but it was not liked during compiling. I can try some other faster values, but the project I forked defaulted to 115200 which I think would cause packet loss on my SE. With a wimodem232 19200 is usually the sweet spot, I may try that tomorrow.
Right now, I am connecting the SE to the RaSCSI with a Null Modem cable and Serial to USB cable (pretty standard, null modem cable from retrofloppy). Instead of binding this to /dev/ttyUSB0, It would be more fun to make a socket on the rascsi that's accessible over IP, and connect to that from a WiModem232, but perhaps that's an exercise for another day.
In short: You need a RaSCSI, null modem cable, and serial to USB adapter. I am using zterm on my mac (confusing, as the git I forked is called zterm, but I'll get to renaming later).
To set this up (if I remember right, getting late) on an up to date RaSCSI, ssh as pi to the RaSCSI and:
With any luck it's set up, from the build directory (which you should still be in) run ./zterm and you should have a daemon. Place files you want accessible from the Mac in the /home/pi/zterm_public/ directory.
The commands are listed at https://github.com/Alex-Kw/zterm but it's basically zdir to list files, zsend (file) to request a file, and CLIENT to close connection.
