   cheap way to allow BOTH macs to use the (single) harddisk.  Do I have to buy

TOPS would allow you to do this BUT it would probably burden the mac
connect to the hardrive while the other mac was doing disk access.

What I would like to know is:

Can two macs access a single SCSI harddrive via hardware?  That is,
partition the harddrive so that each mac has its own partition, and
each mac would connect to one of the scsi connectors on the drive.
Can this work?  What happens when both macs try to write at the same
time?  

Ok, you hardware guys, let's hear from you!
