I had a friend with a powerbook who had his GS on one end of the SCSI
chain, and the powerbook on the other, and both could 'see' the hard
drives inbetween, including the internal one on the powerbook.  Therefore
I suppose you could use the one hard disk from both computers, but you
couldn't boot them both (because they would both want to boot the root
partition)  But if you're going to buy a GS SCSI card, you might as well
have a dedicated drive for it, as they're not too expensive these days.
