| Mac SE/30 will not see RaSCSI |
Posted by: jgp on 2022-07-30 14:48:24
Assembled my Pi4 with RaSCSI. I can connect to the web interface, and I created two volumes via the web interface. All seems fine on this end.
I tried the Pi connected to a Plus booting 6.0.8. Nothing. Someone advised me to get https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/rascsi-reloaded but I don't have a way to transfer that to a disk to my Mac 🙁.
I also tried with my SE/30. Not seen as well 🙁.
Any idea? Is there a command with rascsi to see if it sees my Mac?
Thanks!

Have you flicked the two little DIP switches to terminate the RaSCSI device? Also you'll find getting it working with the SE/30 will be easier than the Plus |

I am questioning the termination and the cable at this point. I was looking (probably very lamely) for a diagram about whether it is terminated or not (in did not change anything on the board).
the cable I use is one from on old Iomega Zip drive I stole from my wife (she’s not using it 🙂 ).
a weird thing is that I have an internal drive in the SE/30 that seems to be working (after letting it warm a bit) but I don’t know if the RaSCSI is supposed to see it or not. |

I'd try one of the pre-made blank HD images you create on the RaSCSI interface first. Just make sure you can see it on the Mac and format it. I'm dabbling with the same thing (Raspberry Pi 3B+), I had to use Lido to properly format the drive when detected.
Zip SCSI cable: are you sure it's that, Iomega made a Parallel port version which looks the same but is not electrically compatible. |

Making progress. The termination was on. If I turn it off, nothing boots on the SE/30, so that's good 🙂. I guess that without software on the Mac then they would not see it, correct? |
