We are currently running a Dual System MV3400 with 4 RF31s on the DSSI.  In
doing some [rare] forward planning, I was wondering if it might be possible in
the future to split up the configuration so that one machine is running Ultrix
and the other is still running VMS.  My two major concerns at this point are:

1)	Can Ultrix make use if the DSSI bus?

2)	Is it possible for for Ultrix disks and VMS disks to reside on the 
	same DSSI bus, even though each O/S can't access the disks of the other
	w/o goign through the owning host?

Any info, or even speculation, is welcome.
