Thread create/emulate SCSI drive using mini Vmac? 68kMLA Peripherals 4 posts Nov 29, 2011 to Nov 29, 2011 View original thread ↗ #1 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 - 03:30 68kMLA So how do I create/emulate a SCSI hard drive in miniVmac? #2 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 - 11:47 68kMLA You need to create a large[r] disk image. This will give you and *effective* hard drive. #3 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 - 12:24 68kMLA 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. #4 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 - 17:15 68kMLA 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.
