I will point out that RaSCSI devices can act as a SCSI to wifi adapter, among their many other nifty tricks, but they do require a third party driver installation which can be done with the RaSCSI itself. That being said, these are /extremely/ nifty and I'm very excited by them. Fine work!

I'm at work right now, so I can't check easily, but as I recall, I think I put 8.8.8.8 in the IP address field for the DNS, and left the domain blank. I believe this tells MacTCP to use 8.8.8.8 for all DNS lookups. I could be wrong though? Any MacTCP experts want to chime in here?

This threw me for a loop when I first tried to set it up also! The instructions I wound up following are as follows: Found on the RaSCSI wiki. Update with how you get on with this info, we'll get you sorted out.

Can confirm that this worked perfectly. Thanks again!

Here they are! 6.0.1, 7.1, 7.5.3, and 8, all ready to go on your RaSCSI.

I would never have thought to look there! Wonderful. I'm at work now, but I ssh'ed back home and changed that flag from -nosavepasswd to -savepasswd and restarted netatalk, and I'll try it when I get back to the house. Thanks!

I have my Mystic CC running 7.6, booting off a RaSCSI volume. I'm also using the RaSCSI for both SCSI-Ethernet emulation, and netatalk AFP serving. (side note: I absolutely, unequivocally love the RaSCSI product, and heartily recommend it. I was able to set up a Classic II to boot off of it...

Well that's gorgeous. Wonder if maceffects could make it and sell us some, haha

Hey all, got my QS 2002 out for the weekend. Decided to put a SATA card and extra hard drive in it for more storage, when I discovered that it only had one hard drive tray installed, which was already occupied. Bummer.  Does anyone have a diagram or parts list with part numbers for all the...

Wonderful! Can you point to the right driver package for the Mac?

Looking pretty good! Let us know how the keyboard ages.  Also, ooooh a Takky. Did you do the harness wiring and everything yourself, or buy it from someone? I have a Mystic and a 5500 that I'd like to one day put together, but it's a daunting task. 

I would also be interested in a PCB and socket or whatever! Those eBay FPU cards are nice, but not $100 nice; I only paid $50 for the Classic II I have, haha. 

As far as emulating spin up and seek sounds goes: it would be pretty low fidelity, but a small piezo buzzer would probably fit in there. Looks like there's plenty of info on how to wire one up to a spare GPIO pin and drive it from a Python script. 

The idea of using a Pi 4 as a low power file server on a small PhoneNet network is very appealing to me, haha.

I would love to see this developed further. Is there any advantage to using the BBB platform in particular over a Pi, or is that just what was on your desk when you built it? I seem to remember that a Pi can run a UART over its GPIO pins, but I don't know much about it.

Received my board this week, and put it through its paces hooked up between a Pi 4 and my SE. Once I reminded myself how SCSI worked (higher IDs take boot priority, not lower, duh) I was off to the races! Used the images from the Garden to bootstrap myself up to a 600MB image with 6.0.8...

Brilliant, cheesestraws. That will perfectly accomplish what I'm after, assuming we can get the correct version of netatalk installed on the Pi.  I'm out of my depth here, but maybe it's time we come up with some sort of broader software distribution for the Pi, either a flashable SD image or...

Hmmmm. Now I wish there was some way to attach a Pi to a LocalTalk network. I suppose also, since the RaSCSI software runs on Raspbian and not bare metal, that I could also use a USB to serial connector to get connected through ZTerm or MacPPP, just for giggles.

Another question: is it possible to share a directory on the Pi as a sort of virtual hard drive? I'm thinking something like the drive sharing that Basilisk II features, but I don't imagine sharing the entire file hierarchy of the Pi would be useful. I imagine this would make it easier to get...

Oh, is SCSI to Ethernet already working? I'd wondered that; great news! I'm flipflopping now between my SE and my Mystic, but I guess I can just set up disk images for both, haha. How exciting!
