Should be possible.  This week I hooked up my linux box to my A1200 via 
scsi link.  The two machines can transfer files using a shared ms-dos 
partition.  It's really neat to transfer files at hard-disk speeds.  The
only effort was to reconfigure the scsi host adapters to have different 
ids, create the ms-dos partition and replacing the terminator with a cable
to the linux box.  You really have to be careful and keep the disk caches 
current.

Have to figure out how to impliment a semaphore using the scsi disk.
Then you can do some fun stuff.
