Re: Mac/GS dual boot hard drive?

[jradu@iland.net (John Radu)]

In days of old I actually had this working, and ran a BBS this way... I had
two Apple //gs's slaved to the same CMS 60 meg hard drive. In those days
CMS sold a card that had a "hard" or jumper partition scheme. I just hooked
the SCSI cables from the card(s) on each machine and had both cards set
with the same block allocations... IE; two 30 meg partitions...

Worked great and I could write and compile in ACOS and then run in realtime
on the other machine... Only problem I had was I could not write to the HD
at the same time with both machines, or I'd occasionally blow the file
allocation tables and have to re-format and re-install...

But, I did have a pair of //gs's running off the same HD... No blown
system, no blown cards, no blown motherboards... and did it for a couple of
years...

Reall !!
