So how do I create/emulate a SCSI hard drive in miniVmac?

You need to create a large[r] disk image. This will give you and *effective* hard drive.

Correct me if I´m wrong, but I dont think MiniVMac was meant to make use of real SCSI drives.

FusionPC, SoftMac and BasiliskII (some versions) could address Mac SCSI volumes on a PC host,

if that is what you are after.

True. The large disks in Mini vMac are actually implemented as super-sized floppies with a custom floppy driver. There is no SCSI emulation as far as I've seen from looking at the code.
