[comp.sys.mac.misc] SCSI hard drive + 2 macs!

This is probably a silly question but I will ask it anyway!

I had just read a message about connecting an Apple IIgs and a mac to the
same device. Well I was wondering if I could connect two macs to the same
device. We have a PLI drive and two Macs (an SE/30 and an SE) They are
used for staff (Lecture notes/papers etc). One machine (SE30) has an internal
40 meg drive and the other (SE) has a PLI drive sitting under it!

The amount of user files on the machine is about 30meg leaving not much space
for applications. What we have tried to do is connect both machines together
via appletalk and have all files on one drive and all applications on the other.

To do this we have experimented with a few shareware items (singleshare etc)
and TOPS, all of which do not seem to do an adequate job!

I need suggestions! Can I connect the PLI drive to both machines at the same 
time (ie one machine in each of its SCSI slots!)

Or will this cause something to go seriously wrong!

Please EMAIL and I will summarise if there is a big interest!
