Re: Can IIGS share drive with Mac?

[mfumu@alphalink.com.au (Bill Robbins)]

My question may have been answered in this thread already, but if so I'd
like confirmation.  I think it IS just a bit different.

I have been planning on connecting an Iomega Zip drive between my IIgs
(System 6.01) and my PowerBook 1400c (System OS 8) on a single SCSI bus. 
I have a RAMFast SCSI in the IIgs with a hard disk connected to it.  The
idea would be primarily to use the Zip as a backup for both machines and
secondarily POSSIBLY to share data between the two.  What I would like to
do is to set it up so that I could leave the IIgs connected ALL the time. 
The PowerBook gets plugged and unplugged all the time anyway so this would
not be an issue, although I understand that the Zip would have to be
terminated when the PowerBook is unplugged.  I assume the RAMFast is
internally terminated.

- Is this settup possible?
- Can I have both computers powered up at the same time?
- Is there any chance of both computers accessing the Zip drive, not
necessarily at the same time?
- Will I fry everything to cinders if I try?

Thanks.
