rascsi(1)                   General Commands Manual                  rascsi(1)

NAME
       rascsi - Emulates SCSI devices using the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins

SYNOPSIS
       rascsi [-IDn file] [-HDn file]...

DESCRIPTION
       rascsi Emulates SCSI devices using the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.

       In  the arguments to RaSCSI, one or more SCSI (-IDn) or SASI (-HDn) de‐
       vices can be specified.  The number (n) after the ID or  HD  identifier
       specifies  the  ID number for that device.  For SCSI: The ID is limited
       from 0-7. However, typically SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the  "initiator"
       (the  host computer).Note that SASI is considered rare and only used on
       very early Sharp X68000 computers.

       RaSCSI will determine the type of device based upon the file  extension
       of the FILE argument.
           hdf:  SASI Hard Disk image (XM6 SASI HD image - typically only used
       with X68000)
           hds: SCSI Hard Disk image (XM6 SCSI HD image - typically only  used
       with X68000)
           hdn: SCSI Hard Disk image (NEC GENUINE)
           hdi: SCSI Hard Disk image (Anex86 HD image)
           nhd: SCSI Hard Disk image (T98Next HD image)
           hda:  SCSI Hard Disk image (APPLE GENUINE - typically used with Mac
       SCSI emulation)
           mos: SCSI Magneto-optical image (XM6 SCSI MO image - typically only
       used with X68000)
           iso: SCSI CD-ROM image (ISO 9660 image)

       For  example, if you want to specify an Apple-compatible HD image on ID
       0, you can use the following command:
           sudo rascsi -ID0 /path/to/drive/hdimage.hda

       Once RaSCSI starts, it will open a socket (port 6868) to allow external
       management  commands.   If  another  process is using port 6868, RaSCSI
       will terminate, since it is likely another instance  of  RaSCSI.   Once
       RaSCSI  has  initialized,  the  rasctl utility can be used to send com‐
       mands.

       To quit RaSCSI, press Control + C. If it is running in the  background,
       you can kill it using an INT signal.

OPTIONS
       -IDn FILE
              n is the SCSI ID number (0-7)

              FILE is the name of the image file to attach to that ID.

       -HDn FILE
              n is the SASI ID number (0-15)

              FILE is the name of the image file to attach to that ID.

              Note:  SASI  usage  is  rare,  and is typically limited to early
              Sharp X68000 systems.

EXAMPLES
       Launch RaSCSI with no emulated drives attached:
          rascsi

       Launch RaSCSI with an Apple hard drive image as ID0 and a CD-ROM as  ID
       2
          rascsi -ID0 /path/to/harddrive.hda -ID2 /path/to/cdimage.iso

       To create an empty, 100MB HD image, use the following command:
          dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/newimage.hda bs=512 count=204800
