Here is the question: I have a Mac II with a SCSI hard disk and
a Kinetics Ethernet-SCSI box. Do I just need a cable? Any tcp-ip
packages support this configuration? Here are more details:

Hardware Question:

Ethernet<->SCSI box has two SCSI ports, one hooked up to laser printer.
Mac II has a 20 Mbyte external SCSI hard disk. Hard disk has a dasy chain SCSI
connector. Can I hook the other SCSI port on the Ethernet box to the
dasy chain connector on the Mac II's external hard disk? If it is just a cable,
how long can it be (will 20' be too long?)

Software Question:

What TCP-IP package for the Mac would support the above hardware?  
Anything that also supports Appleshare?

	Thanks,

		Scott
