Yes, you can hook up two Apple SCSI cards to one SCSI drive. No, you cannot attempt to access the drive from both computers at the same time. I currently have two computers (Unenhanced IIe and Laser 128EX) connected to a SCSI drive with two Apple SCSI Cards. If both drives try to reach the drive at the same time, both computers freeze, and nothing happens until one aborts its attempt (usually via CTRL-RESET). At least this is how my setup works. The hard drive itself must be turned on before the computer so that it has time for its platters to get up to speed before anything tries to read from the disk. Question (to the world in general): My HD is 140 MB. When I have the card in slot 5, I can make 2 partitions of 32 megs or 4 partitions of 20 megs. Why can't I make 4 partitions of 32 megs each? (I'm using the partitioning program that came with the SCSI card.) Doug Granzow sun!portal!cup.portal.com!dig
