This is technically possible, but if you use the DISTO interface
then both the SCSI and the MFM/RLL driver must implement "slot
switching". Not a problem if you are using the CoCo XT (which
implements slot switching) and the SCSI-512 drivers (which
also implement slot switching). Also not a problem if you
use the KENTON interface. The stock DISTO drivers won't
work (no slot switching).
