Is this convertor a two way thing?

I have a disk tray that has ~1.2Gb of disk on a differential SCSI and also has a Rancho RT-SDA in it. This is intended for connection to an RT, so the intended "host" would be a differential SCSI device. I'd like to be able to connect this to eg a Sun or a DEC with single-ended SCSI, so can I attach the "host" machine (ie a Sun's single-ended SCSI) to the Rancho converter to derive differential SCSI?
