Help setting up RaSCSI on stock XVI

[Ex68Kay]

Hi, I am new here and only have been on a couple other forums on the internet so I am relatively new to forums, however I have used the PS3hax forums for jailbreaking and setting up external drives for that, so please excuse my forum-naivete.

The subject self evidently explains what I hope to learn how to do in this thread.

I have all the equipment but I don't want to do it wrong, in any way, the first try, and have to retrace any steps since I do not know much about using this foreign computer.

Please only offer advice if you know how it can be achieved.

This XVI unit is in great condition and the capacitors were replaced. I have a new Aibom RaSCSI and a Raspberry Pi combination along with the external cable and a Master Floppy Disk.

**  I installed Raspian on my R. Pi and have these directions: https://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=6604.0 but I do not think they are correct because it did not work when I plugged in the RaSCSI. I hit a problem with the code from this particular spot in the thread:

"If this works congrats, you have your layout setup properly.
run the command "nano /etc/systemd/system/rascsi.service" and put the following contents in it:"
^that part in the thread was followed by code to be entered however it returned errors as seen below:

pi@RaSCSI:~ $ [Unit]
bash: [Unit]: command not found

I understand that there are only a few who understand how to do this so I don't have much in the department of expectations and faith especially with this whole forum seeming rather dead.

I really just want to get it set up so I can run the files from the sd HD on the Pi.

Running the command:

Code Select Expand

nano /etc/systemd/system/rascsi.service

Should open the text editor called nano. That's where you place the service definition starting with "[Unit]" ending with "WantedBy = multi-user.target". Once you've put all of that text into the nano editor the instructions you are following tell you how to exit and save the file with, "Press ctrl+x, hit Y, enter to save the file."

Judging by what you've pasted, it looks like you were, somehow, entering all of the text into the shell directly instead of nano.
