No.  The SCSI bus can only have one controller, device #7, and the Macintosh
is very "hard wired" to be device #7.  It is, however, possible to use
something like TOPS to have a non-dedicated file server, and a floppy-only
client machine, although at least an SC20 type drive would make life easier
on the client.
