[comp.sys.mac] Mac and Apple II sharing disk space

djhill@rodan.acs.syr.edu ( Number_6 **) (05/07/89)

Does anyone out there in netland happen to know if it is possible to have
a SCSI drive shared between a Mac and an Apple II?  For instance I know CMS
makes SCSI drives for both platforms but can you partition a drive for both
somehow?  There was a company called CMC Systems about two years ago that
offered such a feature but since then they've gone bust.

I seem to remember another company that offered such a SCSI drive.  Their
name is (was?) ProApp.  The drive could be shared by any Apple II (even IIc)
and a Macintosh (via SCSI or floppy port).  I have no idea if they're
still around.  Last time I noticed an ad was about 1.5 yrs ago.
