Just a thought on this Bolkonskij.. Even though the functionality to mount floppy disk images does sound pretty neat, wouldn't it serve you a little better (at least in System 7 and up) to have a hard drive (or even CD-ROM) image mount, rather than having one disk image mount, that you can save and then open as many floppy disc images as can fit in these volumes instead?

Absolutely! That's what I'm about to do. Running off an HDD image, trying to mount disk images (and CD-ROM). Problem is, those are techncially mounted, but they don't show up on the Finder. It appears RaSCSI is looking for a specific format, with your average .dsk or .img not working. I wonder what tool could be use to create that one.

Wait  I thought the whole point of this fancy lil' doohickey was to mount virtual images as SCSI volumes? So a normal .img should work fine, right?So what formats have you tried so far? There's DSKs, IMGs, ISOs, DMGs, then after that, what's really left then? Toast? QCOW virtual disks used by QEMU? I'm a little surprised basic mac image files are not working, so I'd imagine more 'standard' pc-friendly formats may work, like the last four I mentioned then? It would seem to kinda' defeat the idea for the tool!

Yeah, that was my impression too :-D Apparently, it uses its own format (e.g. .hda for floppies, .hds for HDDs). It seems BlueSCSI works the same way. In my search I came across a tool for creating these very images called "Disk Jockey" by a user named "One Geek Army". Here's the website with download: https://bluescsi.onegeekarmy.eu/diskjockey/ (modern browser only) I haven't tried it out as it appears to require a modern Mac (10.11+) and I would need to borrow my wife's MacBook Pro for that. I'm still looking for a way to create them in Mac OS. Still, kind of a bummer to not being able to mount stuff directly.
