Yes. What would happen is that each computer still sees
all of the disk drives but a request from Computer A to
Computer B's disk drives is routed through Computer B.
Which, if Computer B is reading or writing to the same disk
drive, Computer B can then monitor/correct/
restrict/whatever the operation which Computer A wishes to
do. This type of set-up basically makes each computer a
disk drive controller or file server (if you will).

: Unless you have a SCSI card with firmware designed for this.
Yes, that is true. But I do not have a CirTech SCSI card
and I do not know how many others have them as well. So
one proprietary SCSI card is good - but will probably not
be the card which everyone else is using.

Well, that could cause problems then - couldn't it?

If you don't, it will probably bounce. What man does not
