Because this is not the site for the project. This is the site for a Mac 68k version of the project, where they keep taking the author's code and translating the comments to English and really not much else so far. When the author releases new versions they merge the new code and translate the new comments to English. It's weird to me because SCSI isn't really OS specific, so other than writing some client app talk over SCSI and ask for images to be mounted, I can't make sense of why they are making a "Mac 68k" version.

Here is the original site (translation required): http://retropc.net/gimons/rascsi/index.html

You're correct that we haven't added any MAJOR features yet. A lot of the work is behind the scenes.

The big feature that we're working on is an Ethernet SCSI interface. This will be compatible with Macintoshes and Atari ST.

Well, but the original ST's SCSI interface was special. They even called it ASCI. Which shouldn't surprise as SCSI was standardized only after the ST (and Mac) launched.
