[comp.sys.apple] Sharing a SCSI drive between computers

mkao@pnet01.CTS.COM.UUCP (06/06/87)

This talk of hard drives just reminded me of a question I've had for a long
time. I've been wanting to buy a Jasmine Direct Drive 80 for my //e. Now, what
is the storage limit for a //e equipped with an Apple SCSI card? Will I be
able to partition the 80 meg drive into separate volumes so as to make use of
all the storage capacity?

Another thing: I plan to get either a //gs or a Mac in the future. Will be
able to "share" this drive between computers? Is it possible to set aside
partitions accessible only to the computer it is designated for (in the case
of a //e-Mac config)? Or, is it possible to link a //e and //gs together to
the same drive, allowing both to tap into the entire drive?
