The web interface means you can control your RaSCSI without the use of the command line. It offers all sorts of useful features. If you Mac has a network connection you will be able to configure your RaSCSI from the Mac it’s connected too.

It will also function as a SCSI Ethernet adapter.

What’s included?

Everything you need assemble any of the RaSCSI versions, Standard, Compact, and PowerBook versions

• Partially assembled and Tested RaSCSI – 68kmla version v2.4a All the SMD components that are generic across all versions have been assembled, leaving the various connectors for you to add depending on your required configuration.
• All connectors for all the different versions
• Pin headers for your Raspberry Pi
• Components and PCB for a Daisy Chain Board
• 2x Stand offs
• Various headers to add an OLED display and activity LED (OLED available here)

Plug and Play ?

Though at the moment the RaSCSI is not truly Plug and Play, I am happy to configure the WiFi settings* of your RaSCSI, with Purchase of an OLED display and Micro SD Card. With the OLED display you will be able to discover the RaSCSI’s IP address and configure it through the web interface without having to touch the Command Line. (With Purchase of an OLED display and Micro SD Card)

Background

RaSCSI was originally developed for the Sharp X68000 in Japan. This is a slightly modified version for Apple Macintosh computers with SCSI. All of the source code has been translated to English, along with creating some documentation targeted for the vintage Macintosh users.

I encourage you to download the source code, submit pull requests on github, update the documentation, submit issues and talk with us on the Discord Channel

Important notes:

• The software for the RaSCSI is still in the early stages. The hardware is only for early adopters who understand that your mileage may vary, as far as how well it works.
• This product is separate from the original Japanese version of RaSCSI. Do not contact the original creator (GIMONS) for technical support.
• For questions, support or just general camaraderie with other Macintosh RaSCSI users, please visit the Hacks & Development section of the 68k Mac Liberation Army Forums
• Setup, installation, configuration and usage instructions are on the RaSCSI wiki
• All of the source code, schematics and design files are available onGithub
• This hardware has NOT been tested with the X68000 hardware.
• The RaSCSI 2.3 has added a resistor to the activity LED header. If you plan to use the included LED, it may be dimmer than in the photos. There is currently no known solution to this problem.
