Is this too much to ask? Two ST's talking over RS232 port. Each user has access both remotely (to other's HD) and locally. Will either/both MX2, MT-C Shell (other ?) allow this type of set up? Or is the remote relegated to "server" only.... Thanx ! -kevin a360ad@blake.acs.washington.edu

But due to limitations in my program and the ST it's not really robust and should be used readonly on the remote drive.

Or is the remote relegated to "server" only.... Try the DMA/SCSI bus - you could connect 8 SCSI controllers and 8 STs off each SCSI controller, with access at 1megabyte/sec, async. Or fewer ST controllers, and a mix of disk and tape drives. Sorry I can't say how to do it in TOS, but I've got designs down for Minix. (Change the Minix DMA driver to field some other interrupts, allow direct memory access between machines - not just sharing hard drives, but also sharing actual process memory space. It's really pretty cute...) -- -=- PrayerMail: Send 100Mbits to holyghost@father.son[127.0.0.1] and You Too can have a Personal Electronic Relationship with God!
