I'm showing how I soldered my own PiSCSI kit back in June 2022. Back then, it was known as RaSCSI, but it changed names to PiSCSI near the end of 2022. Still the same project, just a rename in the software and web presence. I'm not affiliated with the devs nor with the resellers, I just personally think it's a neat project useful for old 68k Macs!
A PiSCSI uses a raspberry pi board (pi3, pi4, etc) and sits on it as a pi hat to interface with old macs through their DB25 SCSI ports. It can mount up to 7 virtual SCSI devices, including hard drives, cd-rom and daynaport for internet access through your network. It has a web interface that can reconfigure which device is what on the fly, which images are used for hard disks and cds, etc.
