[comp.sys.amiga] Hardrive question.

jac423@leah.Albany.Edu (J.Cisek) (04/13/89)

This  is a general computer question, but having the Amiga 500 I decided
to post it here. Can one hardrive be shared by more  than  one  machine?
I'd  like  to get like an 80Meg drive and share it between the Amiga and
an Ensonique EPS sampler. Both use SCSI. What do you think?

	I don't know about sharing it with an Ensonique, but I've been running
two Amigas sharing the same hard drives with my Supra interfaces for a couple
of years now. I know that you'd have to use mutually exclusive partitions for
your application, since the file formats are different.

	I am interested in an allied question - does anyone
	know the format for Ensoniq EPS diskettes? I would
	like to interchange data with Amiga samples etc.
	Is the diskette format the same as the SCSI?

Thanks for any info,
