Well, Len, I didn't think it would work, but I did hook up two macs to
one (two actually, read on) drive(s).  I personally didn't think it would
work, but I tried it anyway.

All I did was run a scsi cable from my Mac II to a friend's SE.  He turned
his computer on (the SE) and it booted off my HD (a Rodime 140 Meg, scsi 4).
Naturally, I was surprised.  Anyway, he was doing his thing with my HD
and I was doing my thing with my HD, and didn't have any trouble at
all.  It did, however, *seem* to give me preference on the HD though.

Wonders never cease....

I retried the little "experiment" with an SE that had it's own HD.  Of 
course, it was set to a different scsi # (6 I think).  Anyway, not only
could he mount my disks on his desktop, I could mount his disks on mine.
(I say disks, because both of us had true partitions).  Kinda neat.
