   Theoretically, yes. Ever implemented? Not to my knowledge.

   What's far better is to just move any SCSI devices to the chain of
the other computer and connect there. Having multiple computers on the
same SCSI chain is a bad idea unless both the hardware and the
software on both ends is written to provide safe access to the
'shared' drives. [Tip: I wouldn't want both machines trying to write
to the same drive at once unless they did it right.]
