Yes you'll need a cable but I'm not sure if what you want is possible/a
good idea.

This is problem one, both machines will hvae their internal SCSI host
adaptor set to ID 7 which I don't think you can change.  I hear bus
arbitration on some SCSI drives allows you to use 2 machines with one
drive but to be honest it's all over my head, hopefully someone else
knows more than me.  It would be  lot easier to use an external HD and
use that to pass data between the machines with that.  If you want an
HDI 30 pin to 25 pin SCSi cable I do have one but I'd make sure you know
it will all work fine first.
