This page summarizes the emulated device supported by PiSCSI, with notes on compatibility and device drivers for various platforms. When emulating devices PiSCSI is working in SCSI Target Mode, but with the FULLSPEC board it also supports SCSI Initiator Mode. The scsidump tool operates in initiator mode.
| Device | Key | Supported Platforms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard Disk Drive | SCHD | all | |
| CD/DVD Drive | SCCD | all | The Apple CD-ROM drivers in combination with PiSCSI is known to lead to incompatibility with particular ISO images |
| Removable Disk Drive | SCRM | all* | *Functionality may depend on INQUIRY masquerading and proprietary device drivers, f.e. Iomega Floptical |
| Magneto-Optical Drive | SCMO | NeXT, X68000, Atari ST/TT/Falcon, etc. | |
| DaynaPORT SCSI/Link | SCDP | Macintosh, Atari ST/TT/Falcon, etc. | Requires device drivers |
| Host Bridge | SCBR | X68000 | Enables ethernet networking and mounting a remote file system. Requires device drivers |
| Host Services | SCHS | Atari ST/TT/Falcon | Enables remote control of the PiSCSI. Requires device drivers |
| Printer | SCLP | Atari ST/TT/Falcon | Requires device drivers |
| Tape (Streamer) | SCTP | all |
When you attach an image file that uses a supported file ending, the device type will be detected automatically. See the piscsi manual page for a description of recognized image file types.
