Worse than any possible electronic incompatibility is the fact that
the Macintosh File Manager has no means to synchronize disk operations
between two Macs on one file system.  Mount one HD on two Macs, do
anything significant with files on the disk, and you will sooner or
later get data corruption.  If this data corruption involves the disk
directory, then all files on the disk might be lost.
