Has anyone ever come across a multi-way SCSI port switcher? For something
like sharing an Exabyte between multiple heterogeneous systems, it would
seem to be perfect. For example, I've got an Exabyte which I'd like
to use on an RT, a Mac and a Sun. All 3 machines are in close proximity
to each other. Rather than having to fiddle with the cabling each
time I was to use it on a different machine, I could simply power down
and flip a switch. Much less stress on the cables and connectors.
Is there any reason why such a device hasn't been built? It needn't be
a cheap-o box--I'm willing to pay for the proper quality connections
and switches...
